European Union is ready to step up its efforts in support of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Durao Barroso said Wednesday after his talks with Armenian  President Serzh Sargsyan.

"I have informed President Sargsyan that the EU is ready to step up its efforts in support of the resolution of the conflict notably through the EU-funded programme of confidence building measures such as people-to-people contacts. I hope that President Sargsyan will support this programme", said Barroso.

According to him, during his meeting with Armenian President, they discussed the negotiations on peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"I hope we will see some progress soon through the ongoing negotiations of the OSCE Minsk Group", he said.
