The formats, existing for the settlement of conflicts, should be
respected, says Miroslav Laichak, manager director of the European
Foreign Affairs Service, Eastern Neighborhood and Western Balkan
Issues.
Miroslav Laichak said today at the European Parliament hearing on
the Nagorno Karabakh issue that various formats are available for
various protracted conflicts. For instance, The Geneva talks exist
for the South Ossetia and Abkhazia issue and the OSCE Minsk Group -
for the NK issue.
Speaking on the EU's role in the process of management of these
conflicts, Miroslav Laichak stated that the EU developed various
tools, which all are based on the international law. "Wherever the EU
is involved, we put an emphasis on the spreading of European values,
as well as human rights protection and democracy. This is our unique
investment in all the conflicts' management process, in which we are
involved," he stated.
Miroslav Laichak also mentioned that the best thing the EU can do
for the settlement of the region's issues within the framework of
the Geneva talks and OSCE Minks Group, is the recording of a progress
by maintaining the principles of the international law. "The EU has
a needed strategy and tools for this all. We support the progress,"
he said.
Touching upon the process of the talks on Association Agreement with
Armenia and Azerbaijan, Miroslav Laichak said the more countries
are involved in the reforms, the more financial assistance they will
receive. "In this context we support the management of the conflict,
as we help the societies to get prepared for peace," Miroslav Laichak
stated.
