Lennmarker: European Integration Model Should Be Applied To South Caucasus
«The current stage of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be continued, as a rather good, honest and frank team has been formed. This is a golden opportunity for Armenian and Azeri Presidents and FMs to continue talks to find a lasting solution,» said OSCE Special Representative for NK Goran Lennmarker. In his words, a bilaterally favorable solution should be found and there will be no losers if it is the case. «I support the process under the OSCE MG auspices, however it can be completed by the two countries only,» he noted. The NK people should become participants of the process in the long run. European integration model should be applied to the South Caucasus: open borders, united work for welfare, Lennmarker added. The NATO and EU are also interested in security and cooperation in the region, Armenpress reported.
