YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS: Development of trade ties is also the
best way for the settlement of the conflicts. As reports Armenpress,
this was declared by President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz
during joint briefing with Armenian NA President Hovik Abrahamyan.
"As firm and secure is the environment people live in as more is the
possibility to reach peaceful settlement of the conflicts.
Consequently, being a part of EU and the region, development of
economy and NKR conflict are mutually connected," Schulz said.
President of the European Parliament believes that EU should not
divide economic progress from regional development.
"Our role is to establish stability in the region through efficient
economic cooperation. Whether EU will be able to have a constructive
role in frames of OSCE Minsk Group or not, it's not clear yet. The
conflict is extremely sensitive. Each step made receives political
and strategic response of involved sides and region," Martin Schulz
stresses.
President of European Parliament expressed his complete gladness over
Armenian peaceful position over resolution of NKr conflict.
Peaceful position of European Parliament over NKR issue has been also
highlighted during the briefing.
"OSCE has centralized its attention on NKR conflict, and the Minks
Group has aimed its efforts not to embrace any other issue in this
process. In such a difficult process EU leaves this important role
for OSCE," concluded Schulz.
