The European Union hopes that the next meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents will become a concrete step towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Malena Mard, head of the EU Delegation to Azerbaijan, told Trend.

"As you know, the OSCE Minsk Group is working on the issue [of the conflict settlement]. Of course, we support this process and hope that the next meeting, if it takes place in June, can become a concrete step towards the conflict's settlement,'' Mard said.

In her words, this is an important issue on the EU's agenda.
