Baku. Elnur Mammadli – APA. Deputy chairman of New Azerbaijan Party
(YAP) Ali Ahmadov said the European Union might participate in the
solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict. APA reports that Ali Ahmadov
said in his interview to the party’s official website that EU being
the most respected organization of the continent is interested in
ensuring peace and security in this area.
Ali Ahmadov says that Azerbaijan is a part of Europe and considers
that the conflicts in the South Caucasus, especially Nagorno Karabakh
problem have direct influence on the security of Europe.
"The European Union has begun expressing openly that it is interested
in the solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict. A number of problems
that emerged in Europe’s energy security recently have increased
Azerbaijan’s role in this respect. I consider that the European Union
has mechanisms to influence the settlement of the conflicts in the
South Caucasus. It is obvious that the European Union has levers of
influence on the process. But the question is how much the states
are ready for restoration of justice. I think if the member states
are interested in this, the conflict can be solved soon," he said.
