THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY OUT

“One should never get disappointed and abandon hope in view of the Karabakh conflict resolution. I still continue to hope that there will be progress in the direction of the conflict settlement. At this point diplomacy continues and I hope that it will yield results. I hope that the presidential elections in Armenia will be a good opportunity for raising the question.” EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby announced on January 14.
Peter Semneby said the unsolved conflicts which are the heritage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, double the challenges existing in the region.
“They hamper the stability in the region and in some cases present concern with regard to the possible escalation in the future. Despite the unexpected economic growth in the region, the South Caucasus is still associated with problems and conflicts.”
“The most complicated conflict in the region is that of Nagorno Karabakh. The conflict can be solved only through peaceful negotiations.” EU Representative sees great differences between the Karabakh and Kosovo conflicts although they have some common elements.
“Peaceful talks over the Karabakh conflict should be ongoing,” he added.
