Prior of the voting day in Karabakh's parliamentary elections
Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the European Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said in a statement that the EU
`does not recognize the constitutional and legal framework within
which the parliamentary elections in Nagorno Karabakh will be held.'
"I would like to recall that the European Union does not recognize the
constitutional and legal framework within which the "parliamentary
elections" in Nagorno Karabakh will be held this Sunday. This event
should not prejudice the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. I reiterate our firm support to the OSCE Minsk-Group, and
the work of the three Co- chairs and their efforts towards a
settlement of the conflict, and call on the parties to redouble their
efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict. I recall the
EU's readiness to offer further support to this end," said Ashton.
