Though European Union is not directly involved in Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, EU-launched “Eastern Partnership” project will assist Azerbaijan to establish dialogue with its neighbors, which is essential for settling any conflict, EU Ambassador to Azerbaijan Roland Kobia stated on February 18.

“The best way of solving any conflict is the willingness to come to the negotiating table with opponents. 'Eastern Partnership' project contributes to this dialogue,” Kobia emphasized. According to him, OSCE Minsk Group does its utmost for the successful end of the conflict.

“EU does not have enough possibilities to intervene in the negotiation process. However, we are ready to do more if we are asked,” he said adding that the union cannot impose its development model on the country, insisting it is ideal.

“We just seek to share the gained experience,” he concluded.
