Do Not Expect EU Do Marvels about Karabakh: Stefan Fule

The European Union should not be expected to do marvels about the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule said while addressing the European parliament and elaborating on his visits to Ukraine and South Caucasus.

"We are doing our best about the Karabakh conflict ... Do not expect us to do marvels. Wait for things to unfold. Our role will gradually become more active and tangible," Turkish abhaber.tr news web site quotes Fule as saying in response to a Czech MP's question over what the EU could do about the Nagorno Karabakh and the Armenia-Turkey normalization.

Evgeni Krilov, an MP of the European parliament and representative of Socialist Party, said that EU's stance over the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is not that clear.

"Relations with the South Caucasus should at best be developed. We should by any means join the process of establishing stability and democracy in the region ... EU's approach towards the Karabakh issue is not that clear. Catherine Ashton [EU Foreign Policy Chief] should be more interested in the issue. Making statements about the Armenia-Turkey relations is not enough. We should be more interested in the Karabakh issue," said Krilov.
