Today, Azerbaijan

"The European Union considers forced resolution of Nagorno-Garabagh
conflict to be inadmissible".

The due announcement was made by Dimitrij Rupel, EU chairman and
Slovenian Foreign Minister, during a press conference Wednesday.

"The European Union is against forced resolution of any conflict,
including Nagorno Garabagh. It attempts to apply principles of
democracy to the process of the resolution of Nagorno-Garabagh
conflict and establish mutual trust between the conflicting sides",
the EU chairman noted.

According to Rupel, the European Union hopes that diplomatic
efforts aiming at the resolution of Nagorno-Garabagh conflict will
be fruitful. At the same time, the EU chairman voiced hope that the
state powers, to be formed in the result of forthcoming presidential
elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan, will further promote the conflict
resolution.

"In particular, there are many politicians in Armenia, who are
advancing in the direction of the resolution of Nagorno Garabagh
conflict, including Armenia’s Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan",
Rupel said.
