“It is no more relevant to talk about the differences of approaches between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, but those between Azerbaijan and the European Union,” Armenia’s FM Edward Nalbandian stated today during a joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Relations of Brazil Aloysio Nunes in Yerevan.

The minister’s remarks came while responding to the question about the difficulties in arranging the provision related to the conflict in the final Declaration expected to be adopted at the Brussels Eastern Partnership Summit.

“It will be more accurate to talk about the differences of approaches between Azerbaijan and the European Union, Azerbaijan and the international community,” Nalbandian stated, referring to numerous evidences of these differences, also during the previous summits, including those of the Eastern Partnership.

“The position of the European Union on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution has always been the same in support of the efforts and approaches of the Co-Chair countries. It has never been a random position, but has been a well comprehended and elaborated approach that has been aimed at not harming the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process but rather by contributing to the efforts and approaches of the Co-Chairs to have an input to the exclusively peaceful resolution of the conflict. The EU has always adhered to this position,” said the Armenian FM, adding, the negotiations are continuing and before they are concluded it is premature to state something on this Declaration.
