Upon the request of RFE/RL Armenian service, Catherine Ashton-the
European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission-who
was in Brussels on Monday to attend the European officials’
and Eastern Partnership foreign ministers’ meeting, reflected on
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, specifically the chances of the EU
representative’s admission to Karabakh without preconditions, and
she said in particular:

“With respect to Nagorno-Karabakh, I spoke with Azerbaijan’s President
and also with Armenia’s President. We discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue during all meetings, specifically the matter of allowing Philippe
Lefort, the EU Special Representative [for the South Caucasus]-,
and not all European officials- to enter Karabakh.

We wish to help build trust among those people who live there, in a
very tense and extremely unstable situation.

And I want to reiterate that these are the key issues being examined,
not solely during today’s [Monday’s] meeting, but also during all
meetings.”
