Eropean Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy Catherine Ashton has recalled that the EU "does not recognise
the constitutional and legal framework within which the "parliamentary
elections" in Nagorno Karabakh will be held this Sunday", ENPI Info
Centre reported.

In a statement, she said: "This event should not prejudice the peaceful
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."

The High Representative reiterated the EU’s firm support to the OSCE
Minsk-Group, and the work of the three Co-chairs and their efforts
towards a settlement of the conflict, and called on the parties "to
redouble their efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict."
