News.az: EU again calls for diplomatic settlement of airport issue in Nagorno Karabakh

The issue of the airport opening in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan requires a diplomatic solution, sources in EU reported again.

The conflict parties should avoid the actions which may raise tension in the region. It is important to settle the issue diplomatically", the European Commissioner for Good Neighbor Policy Stefan Fule said.

The issue was discussed in Brussels at the meeting between Fule and the speaker of the Armenian parliament Hovik Abrahamyan.

According to the news service for EU, commissar Fule confirmed the changeless support of EU to the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in assistance to the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

Azerbaijan takes a principled position in the issue of the airport opening in Nagorno Karabakh considering this decision a provocative step of the Armenian leadership. Operation of air flights in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan is contrary to the norms of international civil aviation.

A public opinion survey conducted by the Institute for Social Research and Analysis (ISSA) indicates widespread support for Georgia’s accession to the EU amongst Georgians with 86 per cent giving a positive answer. The same survey suggests that 74 per cent of the population support NATO. However, in what appears to be a contradictory finding, the survey concludes that a majority of 53 per cent back Georgia’s neutrality and think the country should keep out of all political and military alliances. “The survey on the public’s attitude towards ongoing processes in Georgia”  conducted with financial support from the Civil Society Fund and the UN Association of Georgia interviewed 2,000 adult respondents in Tbilisi and other cities, as well as in rural areas, using face-to-face interviews.
