Deputy Director of Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan is confident that the Eastern Partnership summit once again proved the adherence of the international community to the process of Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.

“Although the communiqué does not directly mention the Karabakh conflict, it is certainly implied. The EaP is dealing with South Caucasus countries, thus, the European Union will have to talk with Artsakh sooner or later,” Minasyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Besides, he reminded of the recent statement by the OSCE MG Co-chairs, who “will propose to all the parties additional measures aimed at strengthening implementation of the ceasefire, improving the atmosphere on the ground, and promoting understanding among peoples of the region.”

“The international community acknowledged that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be resolved though a referendum, which is one of the key points in Madrid principles. Moreover, Armenia’s positive dynamics in the negotiation process is noted,” Minasyan said.
