/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Security is a priority issue for Armenia now,
Executive Director of LINKS, Director of the Political Strand of the
Consortium Initiative and co-rapporteur of the EU Caucasus-Caspian
Commission Dennis Sammut said in Yerevan.
"Normalization of relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey will help
resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
During the past 2 years, we are periodically told that sides are close
to a solution. Europe should endeavor for a peaceful settlement of the
conflict and pay more attention to the South Caucasus region. Whether
Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan can be viewed as European states is
not discussed. The point is how they can integrate into the European
community," the British expert said.
The EU Caucasus-Caspian Commission was formed in February 2007 in
Brussels with the purpose to weigh prospects of the region. The
Commission includes political and public figures from Russia, U.S.,
UK, Germany, Armenia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Slovenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Iran and other states.
