We have sent a very resolute and unequivocal message on behalf of all
three of us to prevent any actions that could exacerbate the situation
in Nagorny Karabach, Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov declared in
Erevan. Armenia is the third and the last stop in his tour of the
Southern Caucasus. His colleagues - Carl Bildt of Sweden and Radoslav
Sikorski of Poland - discussed the mounting tension in the belligerent
province with their Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian. Mladenov
underscored that urgent measures should be taken towards easing up
tension in Nagorny Karabach. It is of paramount importance that from
now on both Armenia and Azerbaijan should avoid political rhetoric and
actions that could add fuel to the smouldering conflict and provoke
its escalation, Bulgaria's No.1 Diplomat stressed. He and his foreign
colleagues have also discussed the liberalization of visa regime
between Armenia and EU and the conflict in Syria that has triggered
migration of eight thousand Armenians living in Syria to Armenia.
Erevan, on its part, will lift visas for the EU citizens as of January
1, 2013.Yesterday, Mladenov, Bildt and Sikorski met with President of
Armenia Serj Sargsyan and PM Tigran Sargsyan as had talks with the
