Azerbaijan to discuss Karabakh conflict with EU

The resolution of the Karabakh conflict will be discussed with the EU in future within political dialogue, that is one of the directions of the discussed association agreement, said Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammadguliyev.

Azerbaijan would like EU’s stance on the issue to be more active, he noted.

“In May the European Parliament adopted a development strategy for the South Caucasus. The need for the withdrawal of Armenian forces from occupied Azerbaijani territories is clearly indicated there. This encourages us to respect the EU’s position to resolve the conflict,” Trend News quotes Mammadguliyev.

In his turn, the EU representative John Caher told the reporters that “the EU is not involved in this matter. It supports the OSCE Minsk Group’s activity. It unequivocally supports the peaceful settlement of the problem.”
