The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs
and Security Policy and Vice-President of the Commission issued the
following statement today:
"On 19 July, 'presidential elections' will take place in
Nagorno-Karabakh. I would like to reiterate that the European Union
does not recognize the constitutional and legal framework in which they
will be held. These 'elections' should not prejudice the determination
of the future status of Nagorno-Karabakh in the negotiated general
framework of the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
I recall the EU's firm support to the OSCE Minsk Group, and in
particular to the sustained efforts of its Co-chairs, aimed at a
peaceful resolution of the conflict. I call on the parties to step up
their efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict on the
basis of the Madrid principles, which would allow progress beyond
the status quo. I reiterate the EU's readiness to provide further
support to efforts in this direction."
