Гидо Вестервелле:

Берлин заинтересован в мирном урегулировании Нагорно- карабахского конфликта. Об этом 16 марта в Ереване на совместной пресс-конференции с главой МИД Армении Эдвардом Налбандяном заявил глава МИД Германии Гидо Вестервелле.

"Германия выступает за равновесие в принципах территориальной целостности и права народов на самоопределение. Однако, статус-кво в НКК не может быть длительным, а мирное решение принесет дивиденды всем в регионе, в том числе Армении. Исходя из этого, компромиссный вариант необходимо искать исключительно в рамках Минской группы ОБСЕ", - отметил Вестервелле.

В свою очередь глава МИД Армении Эдвард Налбандян отметил, что Армения всегда выступала за мирное урегулирование конфликта и никогда не препятствовала подвижкам в урегулировании НКК. "Велик вклад МГ ОБСЕ и в частности президента России Дмитрия Медведева в процессе урегулирования НКК, однако все усилия армянской стороны и сопредседателей приравниваются нулю, так как азербайджанская сторона периодически ставит новые преграды на пути разрешения НКК ", - отметил Налбандян.

Он также заметил, что азербайджанские власти ведут противоречащую политику и часто выступления президента и других высокопоставленных лиц противоречат друг другу. "В ходе последней сочинской встречи президенты Армении и Азербайджана выразили удовлетворенность работой сопредседателей МГ ОБСЕ, однако в Баку был сделан ряд критикующих заявлений в адрес тех же сопредседателей", - отметил Налбандян.

Урегулированием карабахского конфликта с 1992 года занимается Минская группа ОБСЕ, представленная сопредседателями от России, США и Франции. В настоящее время процесс урегулирования карабахского конфликта происходит на основе "Мадридских принципов", выдвинутых сопредседателями МГ ОБСЕ в 2007 году в Мадриде и обновленных в 2009 году.

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.
