/PanARMENIAN.Net/ According to former Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan
Tofik Zulfugarov, Azerbaijan should call the EU to play a more active
role in the solution of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. Zulfugarov has
positively evaluated the appointment of the EU representative for the
South Caucasus and noted with pleasure that the selected candidate
is successful one, as «Finnish diplomat Heikki Talvitie, who has
earlier co-chaired the OSCE Minsk Group, is well familiar with the
region and is a very experienced diplomat. The former Minister did
not agree with the position like «you come to peace yourselves,
then we will assist you.» «I suppose that Talvitie should be
included in the work of the MG and Azerbaijan should itself author the
initiative,» he noted. According to Tofik Zulfugarov, being an EU
member France as a Co-Chair of the Minsk Group deliberately hampers
active participation of other EU countries in the settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh problem.
