The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is drawing near the impermissible
threshold of tension, Peter Semneby, the former EU Special
Representative for the South Caucasus and current Swedish Ambassador
to Afghanistan, told RFE/RL.
`The present situation has deteriorated a lot as compared with several
years ago; the risk is much higher. This is a conflict that should be
taken seriously. Europe should make serious efforts to peacefully
resolve the Karabakh conflict,' Semneby said.
In his words, there is a great risk that each incident could bring the
situation out of control. `We observe incidents that may contribute to
the escalation of tension. Of course, this should cause a concern for
the conflicting parties in the first place, but the international
partners likewise must consider this situation because if something
happens in Nagorno-Karabakh, its consequences will affect the EU
countries as well,' Peter Semneby noted.
