Russia and the European Union (EU) have to look for ways of stabilizing
the most complicated situation in the South Caucasus, RF President
Dmitry Medvedev stated at a news conference on the results of the
Russia-EU Summit in Stockholm today.
"Frankly speaking, we hold different positions on this issue,
which must be admitted. Differences remain, but it is not a basis
for dramatizing the situation. On the contrary, we should make our
points of view draw nearer," the Russian leader said. He pointed
out positive examples of Russia's cooperation with EU in settling
regional conflicts.
"We particularly discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process taking
place between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Positive changes have been
registered. It is an example of how we can or could have cooperated
but for the well-known aggression last year," Medvedev said.
As regards Russia's relations with the Transcaucasian states, President
Medvedev stated that everything happened so "we are too sensitive to
various words or hints at what is going on in our countries."
"I think that the wisdom of state policy is not in pinning labels.
Rather, it is coming off winners from difficult situations. But the
winners are those determined to develop relations despite problems. I
think we have succeeded," Medvedev said.
