EU does not permit violations of international law against Asgarov and Guliyev
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."
