ArmInfo. The European Union might be able to slow down Armenia and
Azerbaijan's slide toward another devastating conflict. But it will
have to shake off its indifference first, the article of Director
of the European Programmes of the International Crisis Group Sabine
Freizer reads.
As the site of the Crisis Group reports, the expert's article notes,
in particular, that the international community must impress on Armenia
and Azerbaijan the need for progress in peace talks and stop ignoring
the conflict in its aid packages. Moreover, S. Freizer thinks that
the EU special representative for the South Caucasus, who does not
have a seat at the table, should be an observer in the negotiations.
"The EU could also move things along by promising that, once a
peace agreement is reached, it would become a guarantor, sending
peacekeeping and policing units, and offering a large financial plan
for rehabilitation and resettlement. European Neighbourhood Policy
funding, meanwhile, should be linked to progress in the negotiations,
and promote confidence-building, as well as institution-building
and respect for human rights and the rule of law", S. Freizer's
articles reads.
