It is high time to make additional efforts in finalizing agreement on basic principles of Karabakh conflict solution. Negotiations on conflict solution will be restored in two days, President of European Commission José Manuel Barroso stated at the briefing in Brussels on Tuesday after the meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

“I hope the two sides will move forward.  As I told earlier, status quo is not a solution,” Baroso said.

President of EC added that developments in South Caucasus, including Karabakh conflict, were discussed. Moreover, he emphasized that EC will support peaceful resolution of the conflict.
