Baku. Victoria Dementieva – APA. “The European Union wants to play
strong role and be solidary with Azerbaijan and Armenia to be able
to help and support the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
This conflict is very difficult and needs to be resolved”, said High
Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy Catherine Ashton in the keynote speech at the meeting of the
Council of the European Union in Brussels.
Ashton noted that the situation in the South Caucasus, particularly
in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia will be discussed at the meeting:
“The Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be one of the main topics of the
discussions on the South Caucasus. We will discuss what the European
Union can do for the settlement of this conflict”. Ashton noted that
though the European Union is not an official mediator in the settlement
of the conflict, she appointed Philippe Lefort to the post of Special
Representative for the South Caucasus and crisis in Georgia.
