European Commission puts off Azeri, Armenian reps` meeting
The European Commission (EC) has postponed the
meeting of Azeri and Armenian civil society representatives
scheduled for Thursday in Brussels, according to rights defender
Arzu Abdullayeva, who was to represent Azerbaijan at the
discussions. Abdullayeva said the postponement was explained during
a visit by the Commission`s delegation to Moscow scheduled for
mid-July.
"A meeting of the Azeri and Armenian presidents will be held there. Brussels representatives are looking to meet with them to learn their views on ways of reaching a peaceful solution to the Upper Garabagh conflict," Abdullayeva said.
The meeting of Azeri and Armenian NGO representatives was to be organized with the EC`s support by the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO), a group of 12 international organizations dealing with the resolution of conflicts. The discussions, which aimed to conduct consultations on ways of resolving the Garabagh problem, were to focus on the European Union`s potential steps.
The initiative came after Friday`s joint visit by Azeri and Armenian intellectuals to Upper Garabagh, an Azeri region under Armenian occupation, seeking to conduct public diplomacy.
