Members of European Parliament call on Azerbaijan and Armenia to do more to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in EU-Armenia Association Agreement resolution. The resolutions condemn the region's militarisation and high military expenditure and call on EU Member States to stop supplying weapons and munitions to both countries. Parliament also calls on the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to tone down the language of their statements to pave the way for a genuine dialogue.

According to the expert there are deep contradictions between Azerbaijan’s political and military leaderships, hence vows made by Aliyev are later abandoned.

“The Armenian side has repeatedly expressed commitment to withdraw snipers from the contact line, however, official Baku rejected the proposal,” said the expert.
