to the Resolution on Protracted Conflicts
21:20, 3 June, 2011
YEREVAN, JUNE 3, ARMENPRESS:
The European Parliament, discussing April 7 issues on the European
Neighborhood Policy, adopted a resolution, with which it emphasized
the EU's role in ensuring security within the framework of Eastern
policy. The European Parliament called on the EEAS (European External
Action Service) to advance in its role of managing protracted
conflicts in Dnestier and South Caucasus.
In response to Armenpress's query on collision between European
Parliament's resolution clauses and Head of the European Union
Delegation to Azerbaijan Roland Kobia's statements, Raul de
Luzenberger, head of the EU Delegation to Armenia, said the EU has
official relations only with recognized states. He cited the paragraph
49 of the resolution of the European Parliament on the European
Neighborhood Policy - Eastern Dimension dated 7 April 2011, which
"calls on the VP/HR and the EEAS to develop more confidence-building
measures and programs, including the launching of new missions and
public communication strategies and the consideration of pragmatic
initiatives and innovative approaches such as informal contacts and
consultations with the societies of the breakaway territories, while
conserving the EU's non-recognition policy, in order to support civic
culture and community dialogue; underlines the importance of
strengthening the principles of good neighborly relations, as well as
developing regional cooperation through the ENP, the EaP and the
negotiations on Association Agreement; considers that the EU Special
Representatives (EUSR's) still have a significant role to play,
particularly where their mandate has a regional dimension, such as in
the South Caucasus; considers that more and better measures should be
implemented with a view to solving the protracted conflicts in the
region, which are hindering the multilateral dimensions".
"The above mentioned resolution of the European Parliament calls for
the development of more confidence-building measures and programs. The
Vice President/High Representative Mrs. Ashton and the EEAS are
currently considering what follow-up needs to be given to the
resolution," Raul de Luzenberger said.
