EU, Nagorno-Karabakh
The EU considers that stability in the Southern Caucasus cannot be
achieved without a fair resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
and that we continue to support the mediation efforts of OSCE Minsk
Group, President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy said after
the meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
"I expressed my support for the statement by the Presidents of the
Minsk Group Chair countries made earlier this week in Lough Erne at
the occasion of the G8 summit which I attended. The Presidents if
the Minsk Group urged the leaders of all the sides to recommit to
the Helsinki principles, particularly those relating to the non-use
of force or the threat of force, territorial integrity, and equal
rights and self-determination of peoples. They appealed for avoiding
any actions or rhetoric that could raise tension in the region and
lead to escalation of the conflict. I also reiterated our willingness
to expand existing measures aimed at bridging the increasing divide
between the conflict parties," Herman Van Rompuy said.
