The EU disapproves of any actions and developments that create tensions
and undermine the efforts toward a peaceful and negotiated settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the spokesperson for the European
commissioner for enlargement and European neighbourhood policy,
Maya Kosyanchich, said.

The EU underscores the obligations under international humanitarian
law, in particular with regard to civilians and treatment of persons
taken into custody during times of conflict.

“The heads of the delegations of the Minsk Group co-chair countries,
in their statement issued on December 4, 2014 at the OSCE Basel
Ministerial Council, called on the sides to settle humanitarian
issues in the spirit of the Astrakhan statement of October 2010 by
the presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation,”
Trend cited her as saying.
