The EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, Herbert Salber, has told Trend that he will visit Azerbaijan in July.
The exact date of visit was not announced. Last time, the EU special representative visited Azerbaijan on April 15.
Salber will hold a number of high-level meetings in Baku and discuss the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
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 occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, 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 and the surrounding districts.
