Political scientist Rasim Musabeyov has commented on the statements of European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso regarding the EU position on the Karabakh issue and support to territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, News.az reports.
“EU’s official position has always been the protection of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and Jose Manuel Barroso again confirmed this. But it is just another matter that these statements are not followed by steps to press on Armenia.
Europe has many leverages of pressure on this country, since it is Europe which is the claimant, rather than Azerbaijan. Therefore, if Europe values its own energy interests in the region, today it is time for this organization to take steps and not to limit to declarative statements”, Musabeyov said.
