European Commission: "Companies and organizations liaising with Nagorno Karabakh may face sanctions"

31 May 2006 [15:30] - TODAY.AZ
"Northern Cyprus and Nagorno Karabakh conflicts should not be put into the same position, because these problems are quite different from each other," said Emma Udwin, Special Representative of The European Union (EU) New Neighborhood Policy Programme Commissioner.

Saying in her interview to APA that the Northern Cyprus conflict is now at the stage of discussions, Udwin has noted its delicacy and urgency. "It is not right to parallel these two conflicts".

Andreas Herdina, EU New Neighborhood Policy Sectors Coordinator, has stated that the union is not aware of EU member countries' companies and organizations business connections with Nagorno Karabakh.

"The European Commission can apply sanctions against those entities if there is a fact on this case".

Mr. Herdina has also talked for parallel negotiations with each of South Caucasian countries in the framework of New Neighborhood Policy.

"We want cooperation to be made with all of the three countries and we find no reasonable cause for discrimination between Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia."
