Now it is high time to use all the opportunities of the EU to resolve
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel
Moratinos, who heads the six-month presidency of the EU, said to
press conference in Baku today.

"We will do all our efforts to resolve this conflict," the Minister
said.

According to Moratinos, the European Union has taken all the important
measures to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "Some people see the
conflict as a protracted, but we believe that we should consider it
as a solvable conflict," said the Minister.

He said that the EU respects the work of the OSCE Minsk Group and
supports the Madrid principles, and if both sides take a constructive
approach, the conflict can be resolved.

"Peace in Nagorno-Karabakh has become more real especially over the
last two years, we see progress and are in the final stage of the
conflict," the Minister said.
