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."
