Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement must be accelerated

The process of resolving the Nagorno Karabakh conflict must be accelerated, head of the EU representative office in Azerbaijan Roland Kobia told media.

"Armenia and Azerbaijan failed to reach an agreement on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement at the Kazan meeting," he said. "But this does not mean that the whole process has failed. Of course, the failure to reach an agreement at the meeting is disappointing. But a few days later a meeting was held in Sochi. I heard it was held in a positive atmosphere. We would like this process to continue. I would not like to think that the settlement process has ended."

Kobia touched upon the incidents occurring at the contact line between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops.

"We are saddened by the situation in the frontal zone," he said. "There must not be such cases from the Azerbaijani or Armenian sides, because there is a ceasefire regime. No one should die there. Both sides must respect the ceasefire regime."
