Even though the EU is not an OSCE member, EU representatives
have repeatedly expressed their intention to contribute to the
rapid settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, head of the EU
representative office in Azerbaijan Malena Mard told the media on
May 21.
"Maintaining the status quo is in the interests of neither Azerbaijan
nor Armenia," she said, "Maintaining the status quo is unacceptable.
The EU supports rapid settlement of the conflict."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in
1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
