EU's Salber to visit Baku
The European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, Herbert Salber, will discuss the issues related to the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Baku, the EU office in Brussels told Trend on March 14.
During the Baku visit scheduled for March 15-17, Salber is expected to meet with several high-level officials of the country.
Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup in 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million were displaced as a result of the war.
The EU, which is not directly involved in the conflict resolution, has repeatedly stated that the status quo is unacceptable and supports diplomatic settlement of the conflict within the framework of the Minsk Group. The peace talks have been largely fruitless so far despite the efforts of the MG co-chair countries over 20 years.
