[ 06 Feb 2008 16:53 ]

"European Union is against the military solution to all conflicts, as well as Nagorno Karabakh conflict. We try to apply principles of democracy to the process of the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict and establish mutual confidence between the conflicting parties," head of EU Troika delegation, Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel said in Armenia, APA reports quoting Novosti-Armenia.

He said the European Union hopes that the efforts aiming at the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict will produce positive results. Dimitrij Rupel expressed his hope that the government that will be formed after the presidential elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan will further support the process of settlement of the conflict.
Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy also underlined that the military solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict is impossible.
"Peaceful solution to the problem can be found. But political will of the sides is important for it," she said.
Benita Ferrero-Waldner expressed her hope that the statements that may complicate the process of negotiations will not be voiced during the pre-election campaigns in the two countries.
