The European Union Special Representative (EUSR) for the South Caucasus, Herbert Salber, who is currently on a visit to the region, on Thursday visited the town of Barda to meet Azerbaijanis displaced by the Karabakh conflict and to familiarise himself with the situation among communities most directly affected by the conflict.
