/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Former EU Envoy for the South Caucasus Heikki
Talvitie has created a good basis for further work in the region. But
now we will build our activities in a more expanded format," EU Envoy
for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby stated at a news conference
in Yerevan today. In his words, the present mandate provides wider
possibilities. "At present the EU lays emphasis on its participation
in the conflict settlement processes in the South Caucasus. We are also
working within the European Neighborhood Policy, some clauses of which
bear political nature," he remarked. At the same time he underscored
that there are many ways for the EU engagement in the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement but the EU is by no means going to change the
format of the talks. "The OSCE Minsk Group work well and France in
the person of Co-chair Fassier defends the EU's interests," Mr.
Semneby said. According to him, European structures can play
a decisive role in the establishment of peace in the region and
further integration.
