The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, is in constant contact with the foreign ministries of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Elmar Mammadyarov and Edward Nalbandian, in order to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the spokesperson for the European commissioner, Maya Kosyanchich, said.
"We will inform about the results of these contacts as soon as possible," RIA Novosti cited her as saying.
Recall, on the night of April 2 all frontier positions of Azerbaijan were exposed to heavy fire from large-caliber weapons, mortars, grenade launchers and guns. In addition, Azerbaijani settlements near the front line, densely populated by civilians, were shelled.
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% of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US, are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
