EU calls for an immediate cease fire in Karabakh

A statement by High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, issued on Sunday (27 September) said:

"On 27 September 2020, fighting erupted along the Line of Contact in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone, regrettably causing military and civilian casualties.
The European Union calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, de-escalation and for strict observance of the ceasefire.
The return to negotiations of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, without preconditions, is needed urgently."
