Turkey has always been creating problems in the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict by supporting Azerbaijan's non-constructive approach
on one hand, and trying to interfere with the activity of the Minsk
Group Co-Chairs on the other hand, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with Johannes Hahn,
EU Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement
Negotiations.
"If Turkey really wants to contribute to the resolution of the
conflict, it should keep away from the process," the Minister added.
Johannes Hahn said, in turn, that the status quo in the Karabakh issue
is unacceptable to the European Union and added that "the peaceful
settlement of the conflict remains a priority for the EU."
The Commissioner noted that the EU supports the negotiations under way
within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. He urged the parties
to stay committed to the maintenance of the ceasefire regime and
called to show restraint and create an atmosphere conducive to the
settlement of the conflict.
"The European Union encourages further dialogue between Armenia and
Azerbaijan, including on the presidential level, which is extremely
important," he said.
Johannes Hahn noted that 2015 is an important and decisive year
for the Armenia-EU relations, since both have undertaken to create
a firm legal framework for the cooperation. He stressed that the
EU is willing to continue to develop relations with Armenia, fully
respecting Armenia's commitments in other integration formats, and
is ready to shape an agenda of cooperation that will comply with the
commitments of the Republic of Armenia.
The Commissioner informed that EU's assistance to Armenia in 2015-2017
will reach EURO 140-170 million; the funds will be provided for the
development of the private sector, industry and the improvement of
the state governance system.
