Armenia sees no need for EU mediation effort in resolution of Karabakh conflict
Armenia does not consider the mediation of the European Union in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict expedient, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian told journalists on May 26.
Negotiations on Nagorny Karabakh are held within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group now, and it completely suits the Armenian side, the minister said.
"The European Union has always promoted the work of the Minsk Group, and I hope it will proceed with this assistance. However there is no need to involve the European Union in the negotiation process as a mediator today," Mr Oskanian said.
