EU to get involved in NK conflict?
After long discussions, the European Union has decided to reinstate a mandate with certain changes, including a range of issues related to the settlement of conflicts and development in the region.
This is what EU Special Representative for Crises in the South Caucasus and Georgia Phillip Lefort announced during a meeting with the secretary of the National Security Council.
According to the NSC press release, Artur Baghdasaryan and Phillip Lefort exchanged views on the situation in the world and regional issues, particularly the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Artur Baghdasaryan underlined that Armenia has always clearly stated its position on the settlement of the conflict through peaceful negotiations and mutually acceptable concessions at different international levels, but the neighboring country's working style is unprincipled with belligerent declarations that have become the usual even for the international community.
Lefort stated that the a peaceful solution is the only acceptable version and considered any attempt to solve the issue by force inacceptable.
Artur Baghdasaryan mentioned that Azerbaijan's and Turkey's policies have isolated Armenia from a number of spheres, including energetic and telecommunication projects in the region, and that this doesn't fall in line with the process of European integration hinged on solidarity and partnership.
The NSC secretary added that despite all that, Armenia is open and willing in relations with its neighboring countries and has adopted a constructive position.
