STEPANAKERT, March 27. /ARKA/. Irina Beglaryan, Chief of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Foreign Ministry’s unit in charge of
politics, said Friday commenting on the Group’s report published
earlier this week on European Union role in South Caucasus conflicts
settlement that she found International Crisis Group’s proposal
to involve South Caucasus unrecognized countries in EU integration
processes positive.

“Idea of intensifying inter-parliamentary dialogue between conflicting
sides in South Caucasus deserves attention”, she said.

In her opinion, proposal to involve EU Special Envoy in the
negotiations run in the frames of OSCE Minsk Group is interesting
as well.

On one hand, new players and new approaches can speed up the process,
on the other hand unnecessary decentralization of the efforts can
hobble it.
