Europe should intensify joint efforts to resolve the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the British State
Minister for European Affairs David Lidington believes.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is of great concern to the EU. We can
make joint efforts to support the process of resolving this conflict
more active," Lidington said today addressing the Azerbaijan University
of Languages speaking on Azerbaijan's role in Europe.
Great Britain and its partners in the EU are interested in assisting
Azerbaijan and Armenia to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
he said.
According to Lidington, recent armed incidents on the contact line
also concerns Europe.
"The UK continues supporting the OSCE Minsk Group's efforts to assist
the conflict sides to find peaceful and sustainable resolution of
the conflict, and we will further support them," Lidington said.
He believes that the EU can offer more, particularly to more clearly
define how it can assist Azerbaijan and Armenia after reaching the
final decision [on conflict resolution].
"My visit to Baku aims at evaluating the directions in what the UK
and the EU can provide effective assistance," Lidington said.
According to Lidington, the common security is one of the reasons
why the UK strives for close partnership with Azerbaijan. The UK
supports Azerbaijan's choice to integrate into the European and
Euro-Atlantic organizations, because all that is happening in EU
neighboring countries directly impact the EU, he said.
"The development of stable, safe, democratic societies in these
countries help to strengthen the EU itself," Lidington said.
