ArmInfo.OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs do a good job, in rather difficult conditions, where there are many challenges. The head of EU Delegation to Armenia Piotr Switalski said this at a press conference in Yerevan on June 20 when answering the question whether it is time to take effective measures against Azerbaijan, which permanently carries out provocations on the line of contact of Karabakh-Azerbaijani troops.
He again expressed full support for EU mediation activities of OSCE Minsk Group. "In early July this year, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Herbert Salber, will visit Armenia. This visit shows that EU attaches importance to what is happening, we are concerned about what is happening and are convinced that the main actors in the settlement are OSCE Minsk Group, which make the main efforts to achieve peace. However, we are ready to provide additional assistance to the peace process, including on the issue of rehabilitation in the post-conflict period. That is, EU is concerned about the current situation. Human losses cry out sadness and regret, young people are dying, whose life is yet to come. Constant violations of the ceasefire cause concern, the world can be very fragile, as evidenced by previous year's April events, "said the European diplomat.
He called to work for peace. According to him, EU is sure that peace settlement should be priority in this region, maybe the only priority. "It is necessary to provide peaceful development of the region, and particularly of Armenia. Let us do not lose our hope", Switalski summed up.
