On February 9, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian received Herbert Salber, the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia.

Minister Nalbandian drew the attention of the EU Special Representative to the sharp increase in subversive acts by the Azerbaijani forces along Armenia-Azerbaijan border and the Line of Contact with Nagorno-Karabakh.

“At the end of last week, at the Munich Security Conference, Azerbaijan's President’s refusal to accept the well-known three principles of the international law as a basis for the conflict resolution, the approaches that he expressed are a proof to the contempt towards the appeals of the international community and continuation of its maximalist line,” Minister Nalbandian underlined.

The Armenian FM noted that Azerbaijan continuously rejects the OSCE Minsk Groups’ proposals on confidence-building measures, i.e. the measures on the strengthening of the ceasefire regime, withdrawal of snipers, creation of investigation mechanism for incidents, and by its destructive stance undermines progress in the negotiation process.

The EU Special Representative reaffirmed his support to the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs’ efforts towards a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the press service of the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported.
