"The EU wants to help Armenia and Azerbaijan resolve their conflict
and we remain committed to helping Georgia protect its territorial
integrity within its internationally recognised borders," Deputy Prime
Minister Nick Clegg said at the conference "Eastern Partnership:
Further Integration" prior to the EU Eastern Partnership Summit
in Warsaw. "As we look back at the end of the Soviet Union -
a moment when all Europeans watched with both awe and unease as
old certainties vanished - we are again at a turning point in our
history. Now, as then, Europeans face a choice. Drift apart, retreat
to our corners, and undo the work of those who came before us. Or,
amidst the challenges of our current problems, find each other once
more. A united European Union, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our
partners in the East. Standing together for the sake of our common
good," Clegg said.
He highlighted the importance of target-oriented measures to
achieve the goals set. As for cooperation of the Eastern partnership
member-states, he said the partnership will also seek to build regional
cooperation. "The EU wants to help Armenia and Azerbaijan resolve
their conflict and we remain committed to helping Georgia protect
its territorial integrity within its internationally recognized
borders," the deputy prime minister said. At the same time, he
believes that the requirements of the Eastern Partnership project
cannot be neglected. Though our country invested significant funds in
the oil sector of Azerbaijan, it does not mean that our government
does not care about the state of democracy in that country, he said
and added that peace and stability in the region, resolution of the
Karabakh conflict is also very important for his country. To recall,
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will also attend the summit and
met with the EU leadership on sidelines of the Summit in Warsaw.
