Armenia is not going to block the adoption of the final declaration of the 5th Eastern Partnership (EaP) summit of the European Union (EU).

The President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, on Friday stated the abovementioned at the said event’s venue in Brussels, and when asked by the RFE/RL Armenian Service as to whether Armenia was going to block the adoption of this declaration.

“Why should we [Armenia] block [it]?” asked Sargsyan and continued: “I believe it will pass with a compromise version.”

And to the observation that Azerbaijan is positing quite problematical wording—in connection with the declaration’s provision on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Armenian President responded as follows: “Azerbaijan can posit. However, who should accept this wording? And I don’t think that the Eastern Partnership summit is that platform where we should discuss our relations.”

Sargsyan added that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmanship is engaged in settlement of the Karabakh conflict, and that the EU fully supports the Minsk Group on this matter. 

“This satisfies us [the Armenian side to this conflict] completely,” stressed the President of Armenia.
