A referendum on Nagorno Karabakh status can be held after a long
process only, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus
Peter Semneby told Interfax. "An agreement on principles of conflict
resolution should be reached at present to create guarantees for the
sides," Semneby added.
According to the diplomat, these principles have been already twice
introduced by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs at a high level. "I think
it is a good basis to resolve the conflict, and the European Union
calls the sides - Armenia and Azerbaijan for taking them as a basis,"
Semneby noted.
In response to the question about linking the Armenian-Turkish
normalization with the Nagorno Karabakh settlement the EU official
said that there is no connection between them formally.
"However, it is noteworthy that any development in one of the processes
will affect the atmosphere of confidence," the diplomat said.
