"I have no doubt that the talks on Turkey's accession to the EU will have a positive impact on the solution of problems between Yerevan and Ankara," stated EU Troika delegation head, British Special Representative for the South Caucasus Brian Fall at a joint press conference with Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian. In the British diplomat's words, "The EU wished to get rid of borders and obstacles to trade and obstacles to good neighborly relations between countries and that is implied no less in our new neighborhood policy." "As for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, I think that the first step is to ensure that after the elections in Baku there is no moving back," the British diplomat said. "Irrespective of the outcomes of the election I. Aliyev will remain President of Azerbaijan and we hope he will continue talks with Armenian President R. Kocharian," he added. The EU supports the OSCE Minsk Group and compromise is the only acceptable way for solving the Karabakh issue, Brian Fall stated.
