EU Envoy discusses Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijani President.

The last week has been a difficult and bloody one in the Karabakh conflict zone and on the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Both sides issue contradictory information but both sides admit military and civilian casualties in numbers rarely seen since the cease fire came into force in 1994.

During the meeting other issues related to relations between the European Union and Azerbaijan were also discussed.
