YEREVAN. – The agreements that were reached at the Vienna summit shall be implemented.
Ambassador Piotr Świtalski, Head of the European Union (EU) Delegation to Armenia, stated the above-said at a press conference on Monday.
In his words, the events of recent months have intensified the process and dynamics of settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Świtalski noted the Vienna Summit has opened a new chapter, to some extent, in the efforts to achieve a fair and comprehensive settlement, and that a new and important summit in Saint Petersburg, Russia, followed the one that was convened in the Austrian capital city.
Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia stressed that the EU fully supports the efforts by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group co-chairs.
The ambassador informed that the EU special representative for the South Caucasus will visit capital city Yerevan on Tuesday, and meet separately with the President and the FM of Armenia. He added that this visit attests to the fact that the EU wishes to assist the efforts of the mediators.
The EU ambassador noted, however, that it is not the time for public diplomacy. Nonetheless, as per Świtalski, the EU continues to support efforts aimed at the resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Also, he expressed a view that the agreements that were reached at the Vienna summit shall be implemented, since they decide the road to conflict settlement.
In his words, the integrated approach toward the resolution of conflicts plays an important role in the EU strategy.
Ambassador Piotr Świtalski also stated that the EU stands ready to participate in the implementation of a decision that could come about as a result of this process.
