"Twenty years after the ceasefire peace remains elusive but it is clear that the status quo is unsustainable," Barroso said during his speech at the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy. He called on the world community to bend every effort for peaceful resolution of the conflict on the basis of the international principles, APA said.
"The EU calls on Azerbaijan and Armenia to embark on result-oriented negotiations with a view to reaching a peace agreement and stands ready to do all it can to play a constructive role and bring about this peace and its implementation," he added.
According to Barroso, it's not right to blame the European Union for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remaining unresolved, because the conflict was created by other powers.
