We are concerned about the lack of progress in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We understand those who have suffered from his conflict, said European Commission President José Manuel Barroso during a press conference in Baku.
Barroso said the EU supports the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group to resolve the conflict.
“We will support the progress so far with all parties to the agreement. Both in the political sphere and in restoring human settlements, we will continue our support even after agreement is reached between the conflicting parties,” he said, reports 1news.az.
Since the 90s, the OSCE Minsk Process and Minsk Group have been attempting to find a political solution to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, a de-facto independent state that broke away from Azerbaijan after a bloody war in the 1990s and is populated mainly by ethnic Armenians, by providing a framework for conflict resolution, obtaining agreement by the conflicting parties to the cessation of armed conflict and promoting the peace process.
