Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian participated on Tuesday in a meeting of
the EU and Eastern Partnership FMs in Brussels.
He expressed his regret that Azerbaijan is not preparing its people for peace.
Attending the meeting were EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs
and Security Policy Catherine Ashton and Commissioner for Enlargement
and European Neighborhood Policy Åtefan Füle.
Armenia's FM stated the country's willingness to develop partnership
with the EU.
At the Vilnius summit Armenia and the EU re-affirmed their commitment
to consolidate their cooperation under the European Partnership
project, in all the areas of mutual interest. Armenia intends to take
further steps to create new legal grounds for cooperation, Nalbandian
said.
With respect to regional cooperation, Armenia's FM said that Turkey
has been blockading its border with Armenia, thereby preventing the
establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations and Armenia's transport
communication with the EU.
As regards the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, Minister Nalbandian
stressed that, in response to the numerous calls by the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs, Armenia, in contrast to Azerbaijan, has consistently
re-affirmed its commitment to the international principles.
`We fully agree that people should be prepared for peace rather than
for war. Regrettably, Azerbaijan is doing quite the opposite by its
militant rhetoric, propaganda of intolerance and hate, which heightens
tensions on the Line of Contact with Artsakh and Armenia,' he said.
