    EU urges ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabkh

    03/08/2014 | 08:03 PM | World News

    BRUSSELS, Aug 3 (KUNA) -- The EU on Sunday expressed concern by the
    latest armed incidents which caused a number of casualties along the
    Line of Contact and the Armenian-Azerbaijani borders in recent days.
    "We call on both sides to immediately respect the ceasefire, refrain
    from the use of force or any threat thereof, and continue efforts
    towards a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict," said
    Michael Mann, spokesman for EU High Representative Catherine Ashton,
    in a statement. The EU, he said, stands ready to engage in renewed
    international efforts towards a political settlement of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to further contribute to peace-building
    efforts.

    Mann underlined the need to continue negotiations at the highest
    level, as was agreed at the meeting between Armenian President Serzh
    Sargsyan and Azerbaijani President Ilhan Aliyev in Vienna on November
    19, 2013.

    According to media reports, 15 soldiers have been killed in clashes in
    recent days over Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan said 12 of its soldiers
    were killed while Armenia said three of its soldiers died.
