    EU ENVOY DISCUSSES KARABAKH SETTLEMENT WITH REGION'S PRESIDENT

    A possible intensification of the EU role in a search for peace
    settlement in Azerbaijan's mostly Armenian-populated enclave of
    Karabakh came into spotlight of talks between the EU's envoy to South
    Caucasus, Peter Semneby, and the President of the self-proclaimed
    Karabakh Republic, Arkady Gukassian.

    Spokespeople for Karabakh's permanent mission in Armenia told Itar-Tass
    Gukassian stressed the importance of maintaining ceasefire between
    Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

    He also spoke in favor of the breakaway region's direct participation
    in the talks on settling the conflict, the origins of which date back
    to late 1980's.

    Foreign Ministry of the Karabakh Republic said in a statement
    circulated Saturday encroachments on ceasefire on the line of
    disengagement of Azerbaijani and Karabakh armed units became more
    frequent recently.

    "The incidents leading to a greater number of victims on the
    disengagement line can only breed mutual mistrust and trigger an
    escalation of violence in the zone of Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict,"
    the statement said.
