NATO urges all parties of  regional conflicts in South Caucasus and Moldova "to engage constructively and with reinforced political will in peaceful conflict resolution, and to respect the current negotiation formats", says the Alliance's Lisbon Summit Declaration adopted on Saturday.

"The persistence of protracted regional conflicts in South Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova continues to be a matter of great concern for the Alliance. We call on [all parties] to avoid steps that undermine regional security and stability", the declaration stressed.

NATO remains committed in our support of the territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova, and will also continue to support efforts towards a peaceful settlement of these regional conflicts, taking into account these principles.
