EU special representative: "It is frustrating that a solution of the Garabagh problem has not yet been found despite a long-standing dialog"

"It is frustrating that a resolution of the Garabagh problem has not yet been found despite a long-standing dialog. But there is a certain stability there, which gives hope", Peter Semneby announced. He considers it to be positive that Nagorno-Garabagh conflict is not fixed in the context of Kosovo recognition unlike Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

"I can only state it as positive. At least, one conflict in the South Caucasus, is not fixed in this context", Peter Semneby noted and added that the talks are absent in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

"I hope they will be resumed following removal of tension around Kosovo and improvement of situation in Georgia. The negotiation process has not been stopped in Garabagh. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan participate in them in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. This very fact prevents both sides from any negative actions". Semneby said.

The EU special representative noted that the Kosovo conflict differs from the South Caucasus disputes  by its history. "The conflicts have more differences that common features. Therefore, it is not right to draw paralells between them", Peter Semneby considers.
