ArmInfo. The Karabakh issue cannot be resolved by putting any pressure on one of the parties, it will only further aggravate the conflict. On March 6, the head of the permanent parliamentary commission on European integration, Arman Yegoyan, told reporters of ArmInfo in an interview with journalists.The deputy stressed that this issue can be resolved only taking into account the mutual interests of both parties through the negotiation process.
"Any pressure can only lead to the heightening of the situation and destruction," said Eghoyan.Yegoyan also noted that the EU can also provide some assistance in the matter of resolving the Karabakh issue. "It may bedifferent, for example political or geopolitical. The EU is one of the important players in the region, and we need to realize that the Karabakh conflict should be resolved in the format of the OSCE Minsk Group. One of the countries co-chairing the Minsk Group, as you know, is France. Moreover, we have a Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the European Union, as well as an association agreement with Georgia.
But Azerbaijan has neither one nor the other, "said Eghoyan.The deputy noted that considering all of the above, the European Union can, although indirectly, but still have an impact on regional security, and the issue of resolving the Artsakh problem is one of the important elements of regional security in the entire South Caucasus region.Regarding whether it is possible that Brussels will support the initiative of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to return Artsakh to the negotiating table as a third party to the conflict, Yegoyan said that all parties should be interested in this.
"If we want this issue to be finally resolved, it is necessary for Artsakh to return to the negotiating table, without the participation of the NKR, this conflict cannot be resolved. I think all serious political figures and international players understand this," the head of the commission for European integration.Yegoyan added that with the passage of time it will become clear whether the European Union can influence the Karabakh negotiation process and whether it will assist in the return of Artsakh to the negotiating table.
