Под обсуждением участие ЕС в урегулировании карабахского конфликта, т.к. ЕС претендует на роль в процессе.

Посол Европейского Союза в Азербайджане, Ролан Кобиа, заявил на вчерашней пресс-конференции в Баку, что ЕС ведёт интенсивные переговоры с Арменией и Азербайджаном с целью обеспечения их уступчивости во взаимодействиях по урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта.

Кобиа отметил, что ЕС назначил специального представителя на Южном Кавказе, который интенсивно занимается с проблемой, и чьи предложения были представлены обоим правительствам. Эти предложения сводятся к формальной роли Европейского Союза в разработке мер по укреплению доверия в качестве составной части процесса укрепления мира в регионе. Посол Кобиа также подчеркнул, что ЕС размышляет над тем, чтобы европейские официальные лица были представлены непосредственно на месте в зоне конфликта и уточнил, что такие визиты в регион не означают признания независимости самопровозглашенной республики Нагорный-Карабах.

Политический редактор Commonspace.eu говорит в комментарии: "Это редкое заявление официального представителя ЕС о том, что Европейский Союз ищет свое взаимодействие в нагорно-карабахском процессе. Понятно, что в прошлом, в то время, как правительства Армении и Азербайджана приветствовали усилия ЕС в поддержке урегулирования карабахского конфликта, на практике сталкивалось с промедлением. Позиция ЕС эволюционировала на протяжении прошлого года и в настоящее время стала более настойчивой в претензиях на роль в урегулировании конфликта с участием двух стран, с которыми союз в настоящее время ведёт переговоры о соглашении об ассоциации, и в регионе, который ЕС определил, как первостепенной важности. В течение следующих месяцев этот вопрос всё больше будет в центре внимания, и мы увидим некоторые важные события."

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
