Direct Talks with NKR Inadmissible to Azerbaijan

PanARMENIAN.Net - The most important in the EU-Armenia Action Plan is developments in the region, specifically the conflict settlement processes, Caucasus Center expert Manvel Sargsyan stated in Yerevan. In his words, the EU displays rather high activity in Nagorno Karabakh settlement lately. «As you remember, already in 2004 the current CE Sec. Gen. Terry Davis said that Europe is interested in people, not territories. This was followed by the Atkinson resolution, which was adopted and forgotten. The absence of direct contacts between the NKR and Azerbaijan is the major problem. However, I do not think a situation when NKR and Azeri delegations sit at the same table is possible now. It is initially inadmissible to Azerbaijan and it means deviation from the previous policy,» Sargsyan noted. «As for the OSCE MG, it has done everything necessary. It attained a cease-fire. At present continuation of the talks is urgent to it,» the expert underscored.
