Currently the European Commission does not have the necessary resources for conducting a new foreign policy, Russian expert Alexander Karavayev told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to Karavaev, who is head of Information and Analytical Center for the Study of Socio-Political Processes in the Post-Soviet Space of Moscow State University, the above mentioned fact becomes more obvious when it concerns the South Caucasus.

“Currently the EU is focused on serious domestic issues, which are more important for Europe,” he added.

Commenting on the information of media that the EU wants to gain access to Nagorno-Karabakh without any preconditions and that Europe wants to increase its role in the Karabakh conflict resolution, Karavayev pointed out that those are the opinions of individuals.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the correspondent of Radio Liberty informed from Brussels that in an interview with a high ranking official, who wanted to stay anonymous, the official mentioned that the EU desires to increase its role in the Karabakh peace process. However, it does not mean that EU seeks to replace France. Instead, it intends to be active in such issues as strengthening trust between the two nations. The most important is that EU plans to enter Karabakh without asking permission from Azerbaijan, which is indeed new.
