The conflicts in the European Union's neighbourhood - in Nagorno-Karabakh, Transdnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia - are perhaps the most concerning obstacles to progress, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton believes, Azerbaijani news agency Trend has recently reported.
"We expect our Eastern partners in the region to do their utmost to make progress towards peaceful settlement, a strategic priority for the EU, just as we are making specific, dedicated efforts to address the many challenges these conflicts pose. Progress here will mean progress in our relationship as a whole," she said in a statement on Tuesday ahead of the Eastern Partnership Summit.
"Clearly, Nagorno-Karabakh remains high on our agenda. In support of the Minsk Group, we are in dialogue with all the parties, to help them find a shared solution," the statement, shared by EU press-service, reads.
