The European Union (EU) supports OSCE Minsk Group activities for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. Giuseppe Buzzini, EU New Neighborhood Policy Plenipotentiary for relations with Azerbaijan stated that resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh problem is outside the competence of New Neighborhood Policy officers. "It is a long time since OSCE Minsk Group works for the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. France, the EU member, is a co-chairman here. Somehow we also have a relation to this question". Mr. Buzzini has stressed his opinion on that EU is ready to assist in the rehabilitation of the whole region, as well as renewal of infrastructure and transport communications.

For his part, Andreas Herdina, the EU New Neighborhood Policy Sectors' Coordinator, has remarked that the resolution of conflicts in the South Caucasus including the Nagorno Karabakh one, is of great importance for the EU. "We notice positive steps toward the solution observing Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents' talks in Rambouillet and expected sitting in Bucharest", he said, reported APA news agency.
