Russia, Moscow, 23 June /Trend News corr R. Agayev/ The ongoing
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan will be
discussed during the Russia-European Union summit to take place from
26 to 27 June.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, one of unsettled conflicts in CIS,
will be discussed during the upcoming Russia-EU summit to take place
in Khanty-Mansiysk," Russian permanent representative at EU Vladimir
Chizhov said 23 June during a video press conference Moscow-Brussels
'Urgent Issues of Relations between Russian Federation and European
Union on the Threshold of Russia-EU Summit in Khanty-Mansiysk on
26-27 June'.
Chizhov said EU does not hide its striving to take a more active
part in settlement of the 'frozen' conflicts in the Post-Soviet
area. According to him, Russia sees its EU partners having the same
wish and is ready to discuss the issue in case of avoiding breaking
of current formats of negotiations.
"As to Nagorno-Karabakh, there is the OSCE Minsk Group, there are
three co-chairs in which France represents the EU as well. There are
adequate formats of settlement of Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-South
Ossetian conflicts. So, we will discuss the issue in this context,"
Chizhov said.
