UK supports the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group, British Prime
Minister said Wednesday speaking at the PACE. David Cameron pointed
out that it is the Minsk Group that is engaged in the resolution of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
'We do not want a war to begin again. The OSCE Minsk Group is engaged
in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The UK supports
its activities. This means that we support the current process, which
can lead to resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. I think that
Azerbaijan also supports the peace process, to achieve this way of
resolving [the conflict],' said Cameron, Trend reports.
Answering questions after a speech to members of the Assembly, David
Cameron also expressed his attitude to the decision of the French
Senate to criminalize denial of the 'Armenian genocide'.
The Prime Minister said that the French Parliament is free to make a
decision, but noted that this decision could have a negative impact
on relations with Turkey:
'Naturally, in the past, Armenian people survived the tragedy and we
should talk about it. But today we do not have to live in the past;
we must pay attention to today~Rs problems. I think today on contrary
the EU and Turkey should establish a closer relationship.
At a time when we are fighting against terror, on the background of
positive processes in the Middle East, we should think more about how
we can live together. Muslim Turkey is playing a important role. On
the contrary, it is necessary to ensure that Turkey could be admitted
to the EU. Relations between Turkey and UK are very strong and I~Rm
sure they will become even stronger.', APA reports.
