Germany seeks to support and complement the OSCE Minsk Group

16 March 2012

Last year Germany was instrumental in initiating a debate in Brussels on stronger EU engagement in the Karabakh conflict, Foreign Minister of Germany Guido Westerwelle told APA when asked how Germany can contribute to the Karabakh peace process.

APA quotes Guido Westerwelle as saying: "The conclusions of the EU Foreign Affairs Council last month and the new mandate of the EU Special Representative for the Southern Caucasus are a good basis for such enhanced engagement. This engagement aims at supporting and complementing the OSCE Minsk Group, for example in the field of confidence-building. It is high time to reach a solution to this conflict that stands in the way of a prosperous and peaceful development of the entire region".

To note, Guido Westerwelle will pay a visit to Armenia on March 16.

He has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after appointing a special envoy to Greenland.   In response to a question from the BBC about the new role of Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, Trump said the US needed Greenland for "national protection" and that "we have to have it". Trump specifically mentioned Chinese and Russian ships as potential threats in the nearby seas. Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US. (click the image to read the full story).
