By Elena Kosolapova - Trend:
The conflicts in the post-Soviet area, including the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, were discussed during the Forum of Young Leaders organized
by the European Parliament in Brussels as part of the EU program
"Eastern Partnership".
The forum participants, including young journalists, political
analysts, researchers in the field of international relations and
social sciences from the Eastern Partnership and the EU countries
were informed about the nature of the conflict, the negotiations for
its settlement and the current situation.
The discussion was held under the chairmanship of the well-known expert
in the field of conflict transformation and peace building Natalya
Mirimanova. She expressed regret that the EU is making insufficient
efforts to resolve this problem.
She said that the EU must more actively participate in resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"The longer any conflict remains unresolved, the more difficult is
to solve it," she said.
The conflicts in the breakaway regions of Georgia, Transnistria,
the situation in Crimea and eastern regions of Ukraine were also
discussed during the forum.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
