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.

Leaders urge 'de-escalation' as G7 Summit in Canada is overshadowed by Middle East conflict

17 June 2025
The G7 summit, a gathering of major world leaders meeting at Kananaskis, in the Canadian Rockies, has concluded with a joint leaders statement urging a "de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza". It stopped short of calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. The leaders' statement, published as US President Trump left Canada, said Israel had a right to defend itself, and that Iran was a source of terror that should not have a nuclear weapon. According to the BBC, its call for a resolution of the crisis that led to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East amounted to a diplomatic compromise that preserved G7 unity but watered down the statement's impact.
