YEREVAN. – Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Edward Nalbandian on Tuesday received Ambassador Herbert Salber, European Union (EU) Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia.

Nalbandian briefed Salber on the damage caused to the Karabakh negotiation process as a result of Azerbaijan’s large-scale military aggression against the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) in early April, and the efforts toward addressing the consequences of this aggression.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that the EU special representative, for his part, noted that this conflict has no military solution. He added that the EU supports the ongoing efforts by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group Co-Chairs to achieve an exclusively peaceful settlement of the conflict.

The interlocutors also exchanged views on the avenues for resuming the negotiation process.

In addition, Edward Nalbandian and Herbert Salber reflected on Armenia-EU relations and the talks with respect to their legal basis.
