Elections always complicate any sensitive negotiation process,
especially like the process of the Karabakh conflict settlement,
EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby told
ArmInfo correspondent.
"We already witnessed the suspension of the negotiation process before
the parliamentary elections in Armenia. Much effort was needed in the
last few weeks for the resumption of the negotiation process. Chances
of reoccurrence of the situation are great. That is why it is necessary
to use the current opportunities to reach progress before the start of
the presidential campaign in Armenia," the EU Special Envoy noted. He
confessed that the situation is complex because the presidential
elections in Armenia will be followed by elections in Azerbaijan. "The
European Union is interested in the continuation of the negotiation
process. We hope that the conflicting sides will take greater efforts
than in the first half of the year," Peter Semneby noted.
