The European Union should increase its efforts to settle the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and intensify the pressure on Armenia within
its mission to form peace in the region.
The statement came from chairman of the Azerbaijan-Belgium Friendship
Society, Ayhan Demirchi while commenting on opinion saying that
presence of ethnic conflict in the South Caucasus poses danger to the
region, Gun.Az reports.

`The presence and protraction of ethnic conflicts in the South
Caucasus region jeopardizes the South Caucasus policy of the EU. If
the ethnic conflict didn’t exist today, we would witness a quite
different process in this region.

Unfortunately, some European countries cannot still see that Armenia
play a direct role in instigating and flourishing ethnic conflict in
the South Caucasus’, Demirchi said.

Demirchi added that gradually, Armenia will come up to be a seriously
dangerous country for the EU. `Over the hundred years, the Armenians
were known as a nation causing problems in the South Caucasus and
attempting to form a monoethnic state. The point is that the Armenian
nation needs time to change its way of thinking. Otherwise, this
ideology will lead it to destruction’, Demirchi underlined.
