Germany is in favor of and supports the normalization of Armenia-Turkey
relations and hopes that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be
resolved peacefully in the OSCE Minsk Group format, said Germany's
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle in a joint press conference with
his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian (pictured) in Yerevan today.
To a reporter's question on the reason for the lack of progress in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, the Armenian foreign minister
said during several meetings with the Minsk Group co-chairs there has
been much preparatory work aimed at principles to reach consensus,
but when the parties were to arrive at an agreement, Azerbaijan
proposed ten changes, which is why the process has stalled.
The foreign ministers of Armenia and Germany considered the 20 years
of diplomatic relations between their two countries to be positive.
Westerwelle mentioned that Germany supports the development of
Armenia-EU relations, and legal and economic relations in Armenia.
Recall, Westerwelle, in Baku earlier this week, also praised relations
between Germany and Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan is an important strategic partner of Germany. The two
countries successfully cooperate in the political and economic spheres,
particularly in the energy sector," the German foreign minister said,
Azerbaijani press reported.
