    FORMER PRESIDENT OF BELGIAN SENATE: "THE EUROPEAN UNION ATTACHES NOT SO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO THE NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT TODAY" - EXCLUSIVE

    APA
    April 7 2010
    Azerbaijan

    "The European Union must leave the OSCE Minsk Group behind and
    demonstrate its positions on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict"

    Brussels. Fuad Gulubeyli - APA. "I am a professor of political
    sciences at the Paris University at the same time and reading
    lectures about the South Caucasian countries. I am taking great
    interest in Azerbaijan because it is one of the main actors in the
    geopolitical processes in the South Caucasus. I am working to make
    my students of a special study of the Caucasus", former President
    of the Belgian Senate and Independent Senator Anne-Marie Lizin told
    APA European bureau in Brussels. She reminded about her activity
    as the Vice-President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. "While
    taking the office in this organization you must address the election
    issues of the member countries you like it or not. I was monitoring
    the presidential elections in Armenia n 2008 while working for the
    OSCE. I was in the observation mission during the Georgian elections,
    in the OSCE mission during the Georgian-Russian war and just therefore
    I know these countries and processes there well. I could see different
    aspects between those three countries and understood that how important
    country is Azerbaijan for us".

    Anne-Marie Lizin said in fact few Europeans thought about their
    dependence on the energy resources. "It is great mistake that they
    don't know Azerbaijan closely today. Experts of some leading oil and
    gas companies really know this country, but most of the Europeans
    don't have an idea about this region located between the two seas.

    Most of the talks are about the conflicts in the South Caucasus and
    I also express my ideas about this issue. I think that we have to
    note first of all the Russia's role while speaking about the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict. But the European Union must also play its role in
    the peaceful solution to the conflict. I consider that EU must be
    more active and leave the OSCE Minsk Group behind and demonstrate
    its position discussing the problem with Russia to achieve serious
    progress".

    Anne-Marie Lizin said The European Union was attaching not so much
    importance to this conflict today. "We are indirectly playing any
    role in the process of solution to this conflict today, but it
    is seen clearly that this role is not in favor of Azerbaijan when
    we are specking about Turkey. For example, when we demand Turkey
    to normalize relations with Armenia, it has negative impact on
    Azerbaijan's position. But other question is that UN Security Council
    passed resolutions in favor of Azerbaijan and this issue should be
    discussed with Russia at first. I consider that the possibility of
    the solution of this dossier should be just in this level".
