The ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be discussed during the
Russia-European Union summit to take place from 26 to 27 June.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, one of unsettled conflicts in CIS,
will be discussed during the upcoming Russia-EU summit to take place
in Khanty-Mansiysk," Russian permanent representative at EU Vladimir
Chizhov said during a Moscow-Brussels video press conference on
"Urgent Issues of Relations between the Russian Federation and the
European Union on the Threshold of Russia-EU Summit in Khanty-Mansiysk
on 26-27 June."
Chizhov said EU does not hide its striving to take a more active part
in the settlement of the ‘frozen’ conflicts in the Post-Soviet area.
According to him, Russia sees its EU partners having the same wish
and is ready to discuss the issue in case of avoiding breaking of
current formats of negotiations.
"As to Nagorno-Karabakh, there is the OSCE Minsk Group, there are
three co-chairs in which France represents the EU as well. There are
adequate formats of settlement of Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-South
Ossetian conflicts. So, we will discuss the issue in this context,"
Chizhov said, Trend News reported.
