German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier concluded his visit to
the South Caucasus yesterday with a meeting with Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan and Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian. Steinmeier
expressed hope that the next round of presidential talks set for
Paris next Monday will bring progress. Nalbandian stated again that
Armenia was ready to settle the problem based on the declarations of
the OSCE Minsk Group.
Heiko Langner, a political analyst in Berlin, said that Germany should
take practical steps towards settlement of the problem. The German
government expressed support for Russia's efforts as a co-chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group in response to The Left Party, according to
the analyst.
He reminded that Germany mistrusted Russia over the Ukraine conflict.
On the other hand, Russia's position coincides with the German
stage-by-stage solution for Nagorno-Karabakh.
Langner reminded that Steinmeier had plenty of other topics to discuss
in Armenia and Azerbaijan. In his words, Azerbaijan became reluctant
to sign the EU Association Agreement after Armenia had declared plans
to join the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Berlin
will try to minimize losses in cooperation with both countries of
the Eastern Partnership.
Steinmeier discussed Armenian-German cooperation with Serzh Sargsyan.
He emphasized plans to activate political dialogue between the two
states and intensify cooperation in the political and economic sectors,
