EU supports efforts towards Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
The EU supports the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Walter Stevens, chairman of EU Council’s Political and Security Committee stressed in his meeting with Armenia's Serzh Sargsyan, AzVision.az reports citing the Armenian media.
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 have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territory, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the surrounding districts.
