Yerevan, 13.02.08. DE FACTO. "The fact that after such a long
dialogue the resolution of the Karabakh issue has net been found
yet is disappointing. However, certain calmness reigns there, and
it reassures", stated the EU Special Representative for the South
Caucasus Peter Semneby in an interview with Russian "Kommersant"
newspaper, while speaking of the Karabakh conflict settlement.
Answering a question if he considers it strange that in the context
of discussion of the possibility of application of the Kosovo issue's
resolution for other conflicts on the post-Soviet territory Karabakh
is not mentioned Peter Semneby stated, "I can just state it's good
even if one conflict in the South Caucasus does not appear in this
context. No talks are held in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I hope
they will be resumed after tension around Kosovo is reduced and the
situation in Georgia is settled. As for Karabakh, the negotiation
process goes on. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan participate in it within
the frames of the OSCE Minsk group. And this fact keeps both parties
from some dramatic actions".
