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

international efforts towards a political settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to further contribute to peace-building

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
