Currently the European Commission does not have the necessary
resources for conducting a new foreign policy, Russian expert
Alexander Karavayev told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to Karavaev, who is head of Information and Analytical
Center for the Study of Socio-Political Processes in the Post-Soviet
Space of Moscow State University, the above mentioned fact becomes
more obvious when it concerns the South Caucasus.
`Currently the EU is focused on serious domestic issues, which are
more important for Europe,' he added.
Commenting on the information of media that the EU wants to gain
access to Nagorno-Karabakh without any preconditions and that Europe
wants to increase its role in the Karabakh conflict resolution,
Karavayev pointed out that those are the opinions of individuals.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the correspondent of Radio
Liberty informed from Brussels that in an interview with a high
ranking official, who wanted to stay anonymous, the official mentioned
that the EU desires to increase its role in the Karabakh peace
process. However, it does not mean that EU seeks to replace France.
Instead, it intends to be active in such issues as strengthening trust
between the two nations. The most important is that EU plans to enter
Karabakh without asking permission from Azerbaijan, which is indeed
new.
