Does EU intend to participate immediately in Karabakh process?

PanARMENIAN.Net - EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Stefan Fuele said that he welcomes the efforts of the parties, specifically, the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents’ actions aimed at peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict. According to him, activation of efforts within the framework of OSCE Minsk Group is a certain signal proving that the parties do their utmost to find a solution. “The EU absolutely supports these efforts,” Fuele said.

At the same time he noted that after the entry into force of Treaty of Lisbon, the EU gained a clearer position in the foreign political arena. “The unresolved conflicts of countries of the European neighborhood remain a serious problem for us. Thus, I consider our immediate participation in their settlement to be possible,” said Fuele, adding that with respect to this, great attention will be paid to the interested parties’ stances, Trend news reported.

Treaty of Lisbon (official name – Treaty of Lisbon amending the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community) is an international agreement signed during the EU summit in Lisbon on December 13, 2007. It was aimed at substituting the EU Constitution, which had not entered into force, and amending the acting treaties of the EU to reform the EU administration systems.
