Armenia, Azerbaijan should join EU to resolve Karabakh conflict, Lithuanian ex-President says

PanARMENIAN.Net - The European Union can resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, member of European Parliament from Lithuania Vitautas Landsbergis said.



"Only the EU can reconcile Azerbaijan and Armenia," said Landsbergis, who took part in 18th economic forum in Polish city of Krynitsa.



Landsbergis sees the way out of the long-drawn conflict in the admission to EU. "If Azerbaijan and Armenia will join EU, there will be no problems as in fact, there will be no borders between the two countries," Landsbergis, ex-president of Lithuania said.



He said, however, admission of Azerbaijan and Armenia to EU will not take place any time soon.



"But Russia will not let such a resolution. It contradicts to Russia's interests," he said in seminar EU-South Caucasus: Perspective Spheres of Economic Cooperation held within the framework of forum, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
