    FOREIGN MINISTERS OF ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN HAVE POSITIVE VIEW ON KARABAKH PROCESS

    AZG Armenian Daily
    16/11/2006

    Foreign ministers of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as leaders
    of the European Union (EU) held a joint press conference in Brussels
    yesterday. Vartan Oskanian, RA foreign minister, and his Azerbaijani
    counterpart Elmar Mamedyarov were in positive mood in regard of each
    other at the press conference. Their comments greatly differed from
    their previous statements. Both of them highly estimated the EU's
    Wider Europe: New Neighborhood policy. In response to the questioned
    whether the mutually positive mood of the Ministers will be reflected
    on the coming negotiations on Karabakh problem, Mr. Oskanian said
    that logical proposals of the members of Minsk Group OSCE would be
    presented before the negotiations launch. He also emphasized that
    there are interesting thoughts on the topic. E. Mamedyarov said that
    the issues are to be studied in the short time context.

    "Consciousness on necessity to set off the dead point, were we failed
    to agree about, has increased", Mamedyarov said. Touching upon the EU
    'New Neighborhood' policy, Mr. Oskanian said: "Our relations entered
    an entirely new stage. The document is quite large and promises
    many perspectives.

    Integration process has started. In order to get the best results,
    we should focus on this policy. We don't want to have the agreement
    only on paper - but to fully realize the prospects. In this case,
    Armenia will be able to enter a new level in politics and economy
    in 5-years' time." Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European Union Foreign
    Relations Commissar, said that the fact that the sides signed the EU
    'New Neighborhood' policy demonstrates that the countries enter a
    new stage in their policies. She added that the basic human values
    such as - human rights, democracy and rule of law are to be applied
    in the South Caucasus states. Ms Ferrero-Waldner added that EU
    takes into account the country's wills and stimulates their regional
    cooperation. Peter Semneby, South Caucasus: EU Special Representative,
    said that participation in the EU 'New Neighborhood' policy means
    considerable investments into the states. These financing must go for
    social good, that is - westernization of the population of Armenia
    and Azerbaijan. EU will be carefully following parliamentary and
    presidential elections in Armenia.

    Mr. Semneby emphasized that the elections will be an important
    examination for Armenia.
