At the joint press briefing of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and
European Parliament President Martin Schulz in Brussels, a Panorama.am
reporter asked the Armenian President to comment on the attempts and
intentions to hold discussions and to pass resolutions on Karabakh
issue in European structures, in particular in the European
Parliament.
`We are quiet about it, because the European Parliament began to dwell
on Karabakh issue a long time ago,' said the Armenian President.
He reminded those present that all European structures supported the
fair demand of Karabakh people in the late 80s and early 90s.
`The European Parliament adopted resolutions then. I am convinced that
the European Parliament cannot be based on different principles while
passing a resolution on the same issue. So there is nothing to worry
about,' said Serzh Sargsyan.
European Parliament President Martin Schulz noted that at the meeting
they had discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
`We agreed that Madrid Principles, adopted through the efforts of OSCE
Minsk Group, are the common way for conflict settlement,' said Schulz.
Serzh Sargsyan reiterated that the Armenian side sees the conflict
settlement exclusively through peaceful means, in the Minsk Group
format.
The Armenian President also hailed the conclusions of the Council of
the European Union mentioning the necessity of EU representatives'
visits to Artsakh.
