/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European Union is aware that a "constitutional
referendum" has taken place in Nagorno Karabakh on 10 December
2006. The EU recalls that it does not recognize the independence
of Nagorno Karabakh. It recognizes neither the "referendum" nor its
outcome, says the EU statement.
"The EU reiterates its firm support to the OSCE Minsk Group and
its Co-Chairmen, and their efforts towards a settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The EU considers that conducting such a
"referendum", thus pre-empting the outcome of the ongoing negotiations,
did not contribute to constructive efforts at peaceful conflict
resolution. It calls on all parties to the conflict to intensify
their efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict," the
document says.
