Head of EU Delegation: European leaders ready to convey peace  messages to Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. The heads of European countries took seriously the words of Nikol Pashinyan about Karabakh, voiced in Brussels, and are ready to convey peace messages to Azerbaijan. This was stated to journalists by the head of EU  delegation to Armenia Piotr Swatalsky.

According to the ambassador, it is necessary to do everything  possible to reduce the escalation of the conflict. "We are doing our  best, including assisting the OSCE Minsk Group on the Karabakh  settlement," the European diplomat said.

As Switalski pointed out, the first meeting of the Foreign Ministers  of Armenia and Azerbaijan was held in Brussels. The Karabakh issue  was among the priorities also during the Brussels meetings of the  Armenian prime minister with high-ranking EU officials. "We listened  to the concerns of the Armenian side and will do everything possible  to send peace and peace messages to Azerbaijan," the ambassador said.

To note, while in Brussels, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan  gave an interview to the Euronews television channel. In connection  with the Karabakh problem, Pashinyan said in particular: "This  conflict should be resolved only peacefully. Unfortunately, from the  first days of my tenure as prime minister of Armenia, I see that  Azerbaijan is increasing its aggressiveness towards Armenia. In my  opinion, now we see that the situation is changing, because this  aggressive policy is directed not only against Armenia, but also  against democracy, because now Armenia is really a democratic  country. " "I think the leadership of Azerbaijan is afraid that its  own people, inspired by the Armenian processes, will start democratic  changes in Azerbaijan," Pashinyan said. Answering the question about  the possible role of NATO in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict,  the prime minister noted that it would be very useful if NATO sends a  strong signal to Azerbaijan that any attempt to resolve the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict using force will meet strong reaction from  the international community.
