/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The first serious request of the European community
for increase of its role in the region was made last January in David
Atkinson's report at the PACE, Director of Civil Society and Regional
Development Institute, political scientist Aghavni Karakhanyan stated
in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In her words, the
report's point lied exactly in enhancing Europe's role in the South
Caucasus. "Quite a logical step is the European Neighborhood Policy
(ENP), which includes conflict settlement, in particular that of
the Nagorno Karabakh. The NATO IPAP does not imply anything about
conflict settlement. This is mere verbiage. Though NATO official
mission in the South Caucasus did not consider conflict settlement
a priority. Of course, the NATO is interested in participation," she
remarked. Karakhanyan emphasized that EU activation in the region is
quite explainable. "The US and OSCE try to solve the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict and requests for EU involvement in the region blends with
activation of US policy," she said.
