EU reiterates its full support to OSCE Minsk Group efforts in Karabakh
conflict settlement based on "appropriate combination" of principles
and norms of international law, said Carl Bildt, EU Presiding Swedish
Foreign Minister, speaking at the OSCE Ministerial Council in Athens.

According to him, "appropriate combination" should be perceived as
support for the territorial integrity of Armenia and Azerbaijan and
other OSCE principles, such as "non-use of force and the equal right
of peoples to self-determination."

"We welcome the intensified negotiations this year, including the
bilateral meeting on November 22 between presidents Aliyev and
Sargsyan .We call again upon Armenia and Azerbaijan to take the
necessary decisions to achieve a breakthrough with the endorsement
of the Basic Principles proposed in Madrid on November 29, 2007,"
underlined Carl Bildt.
