    EUROPE COULD BE MORE INSISTENT IN ISSUES OF SETTLEMENT OF CONFLICT ON
    SOUTH CAUCASUS

    YEREVAN, November 22. /ARKA/. Europe could be more insistent in
    issues of settlement of conflict on the South Caucasus, as Armenian
    President Robert Kocharian said, making his speech on Berlin European
    Forum. He stressed that the history of forming of the EU shows the
    privileges of the regional cooperation that is the way to prosperity
    and also an instrument of stability. "Based on its experience Europe
    could be more insistent in the issues of the settlement of the
    conflicts on the South Caucasus thru incentive to the cooperation",
    he said.
    President stressed that one of the main obstacles for the settlement
    of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is absence of eh regional
    cooperation. He mentioned that Armenia believes in the settlement of
    the conflicts thru regional cooperation, while Azerbaijan refrains
    from the possible cooperation prior to the settlement of the
    conflict. Among other obstacles on the way of cooperation of the EU
    with the South Caucasus states he named the blockade of Armenia by
    Turkey. "We think that it is not normal when the state launching the
    negotiations on accession to the EU blockades the participants of the
    European Neighborhood policy", he said, adding that the EU actually
    was formed due to pragmatism of its founders. "Everything began not
    from parliamentary assemblies and ministerial councils, but
    understanding of the common interests and compatibility of the value
    systems. We would like to see something similar in the EU's policy
    toward the New Neighborhood participant countries", Kocharian stated.
