The EU supports the negotiations mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs aimed at settling the conflict and encourages further
dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including at the level of
presidents, the EU told Trend March 4.
The EU is commenting on its role in the conflict settlement.
The EU's position is that the status quo is unacceptable," the EU
said. "The peaceful resolution of this conflict remains a top priority
for the EU."
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 US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
