Karabakh conflict solution
[ 16 Dec. 2006 17:16 ]
`There has been a great opportunity for the settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. Unfortunately, the parties couldn’t seize this
chance to reach agreement,’ said Peter Semneby, EU Special
Representative for the South Caucasus, APA reports.
Expressing support for the efforts of the OSCE MG in the settlement
of the conflict, Peter Semneby said that he hopes the negotiations
will yield good results.
Touching on the `referendum’ held in Nagorno Karabakh, he said they
don’t recognize the results of that `referendum’ and the EU expressed
its position in its statement.
He said that cooperation between Azerbaijan and EU will further
develop after implementation of the EU/Azerbaijan Action Plan.
Besides, the EU will carry out a project on civil society and freedom
of speech in Azerbaijan next year. /APA/
