“The European Union does of course fully support all three principles regarding a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, as agreed by the international community,” Mich
ael Karnitschnig, spokesperson for the European Commission, told NEWS.am.
“We also fully support the efforts undertaken by the Minsk Group and are willing to make a further contribution to a settlement, as mentioned by President Barroso during his visit,” he added.
Earlier one of the Azerbaijani websites posted a video with a speech of President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso delivered at the Baku University. Addressing the meeting participants, Barroso said that the EU fully supports territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and other agreed principles, as well as the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group. The Union is ready not only to provide political assistance but also help in restoration works after the settlement of the conflict is reached.
Interestingly, the Azerbaijani journalists decided that other principles do not include the other two fundamental principles regarding the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
We also would like to advise that the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reads the statement by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made at the OSCE Summit in Astana last December.
“Let me reiterate on behalf of the Minsk Group co-chair countries that the foundation of any lasting and fair settlement must be the Helsinki principles as well as the six elements articulated by Presidents Medvedev, Sarkozy, and Obama on July 10, 2009 at L’Aquila and repeated at Muskoka on June 26, 2010.
These proposed elements were conceived as an integrated whole and any attempt to select some elements over others would make it impossible to achieve a balanced solution,” she said.
Today Azerbaijani foreign office issued a hysterical statement expressing indignation over content of Barroso’s Baku remarks available on the European Commission’s website. The Azerbaijani authorities tried to insist that Barroso mentioned only principle of territorial integrity.
