/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will not
only improve relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan but also affect
the Armenian-Turkish relationship, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov wrote in The Wall Street Journal.
"Settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will help Azerbaijan to
serve as a bridge between the European Union and Central Asia. The
EU should be interested in stability and economic development of the
region, which can satisfy its energy needs. I believe that Armenia will
benefit from regional integration and development," Mammadyarov said.
According to him, Europe should look for economic integration in the
Caspian region as well as in Russia and China.
"The Karabakh conflict impedes development of the region," the Azeri
FM noted.
