The European Union has added its voice to international concerns about the latest upsurge in fighting along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and around Nagorno-Karabakh and urged the conflicting parties to respect ceasefire.
"The High Representative calls on both sides strictly to respect the ceasefire and exercise restraint on the ground and in public statements in order to prevent a further escalation of the situation, which has been deteriorating during the last several months," a spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a weekend statement.
"Threat or use of force as well as the status quo do not contribute to a resolution of the persisting conflict," said the statement.
