The forthcoming EU-Armenia and EU-Azerbaijan association agreements
must contribute to a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, which is "hampering the full development of the European
neighbourhood policy", say MEPs in two draft resolutions to be voted
on Wednesday, EU press service told Armenpress..
In their draft recommendations to the Council, Commission and European
External Action Service, MEPs also insist that the agreements must
promote democracy and press freedom in Armenia and Azerbaijan, and
that human rights clauses must be included in both agreements.
Negotiations on association agreements to promote political association
and economic integration between the EU and both countries started
July 2010. Visa facilitation dialogues with both countries were
launched in February 2011.
