EU Not Passive in Conflict Settlement in South Caucasus
"I cannot say that the EU is passive in the conflict settlement in the South Caucasus. The EU has done a great deal of work," EU High Commissioner Javier Solana stated. In his words, the conflicts are rooted in the problems the whole region faces. "I would like to stress the importance of talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The EU supports the mediating endeavors of the OSCE Minsk Group and I hope that the meeting of the Foreign Ministers in November 14 will promote the process," he said.
When touching upon Georgia's internal conflicts Solana said the EU considers the resolution of the conflicts to be vitally important for the region. "EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby helps Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to reconsider the economic and political reforms and press for the further development of the region making contribution to the peaceful settlement of conflicts and encouraging cooperation between the countries," he said, reported Trend.
