STEPANAKERT. – Karabakh Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan and EU special representative on South Caucasus Herbert Salber exchanged views on several issues, including possibilities and perspective of cooperation between EU and Karabakh during their meeting, spokesperson for Karabakh MFA Ani Sargsyan said.

Her comment came in response to Armenian News-NEWS.am's request to comment on Azerbaijan's attempts to present a meeting in the context of intercommunity dialogue.

“As to Azerbaijani side attempts to draw parallels with the meeting of Herbert Salber with the so-called Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh, the EU Special Representative and other officials, as a part of their job, are holding meeting with representatives of various NGOs. This structure, which proclaims itself the 'Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh' was registered in Azerbaijan as an NGO in 2006. Beside its name, it has nothing to do with Nagorno-Karabakh, and Azerbaijani authorities created it to distort the essence of the conflict and to politicize the civil peace-building initiatives,” the spokesperson said.
