"We are concerned about the lack of progress in the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We seek more active role in the settlement
of the conflict. Thereby we will provide full support to the OSCE
Minsk Group. European Union Special Representative Philippe Lefort
deals with this issue," High Representative of the European Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Baroness Catherine Ashton told APA.
Baroness Ashton noted that the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict would create a huge potential for development and cooperation
in the region.
"EU prioritizes settlement of the conflict and establishment of peace.
We are convinced that these values would boost changes in the South
Caucasus," said she.
Catherine Ashton said that not only the sides of the conflict but also
the European Union would benefit from the settlement of the conflict.
"The OSCE Minsk Group is empowered to act as a mediator between
the sides of the conflict. We should define the measures to support
the OSCE Minsk Group and to raise confidence between the sides of
the conflict."
