Romanian FM: "I hope Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be resolved in 2006"

The letter was the response to questions raised by members of Azeri parliament Ganira Pashayeva and Rafael Huseynov, Trend reports.

The letter says the following: "Heads of states shared their opinions regarding unresolved conflicts at the third meeting in Warsaw. Ministers Committee of EC has come to decision to pay special attention to Nagorno Karabakh conflict. This position remains unchanged since Azerbaijan and Armenia have joined EC."

"Representatives of public pf the both countries, including members of parliament, have their responsibilities in this respect. Use of language of threats is not a path to a positive solution," Romanian Minister writes.

He opines that neither EC nor Ministers Committee is authorized to interfere the negotiations on the conflict resolution, as this is responsibility of OSCE's Minsk Group. However, EC may provide some assistance in development of cooperation between the two countries, in particular, resolution 1690 approved by Ministers Committee in September 2005, which states a number of such initiatives.
