“Trying to hurt Russia’s interests in NK conflict”
How appropriate is a change of the format for the negotiations over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict? Recently different high-ranking EU officials have been directly and indirectly talking about engaging the European Union as a direct participant in the negotiations over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"I don't picture the increase in the EU's role in the negotiations simply because the EU has remained the same," politologist Vardan Khachatryan told "A1+" today.
He also doesn't see any sense in the idea of replacing the French Co-Chair with a EU representative. "France did all that it could. I am deeply convinced that the issue at hand is the Russian-Azerbaijani relations. They are trying to hurt Russia's interests."
Vardan Khachatryan says there is no need for a change in the format at this moment. "I don't see it, but the Europeans do. The only conflict that the Europeans believe they can resolve is the NK conflict."
The EU declared its willingness to support the OSCE Minsk Group in resolving the NK conflict during the 12th session of the Armenia-EU Partnership Council held in Brussels.
