I’m deeply worried by reports of renewed incidents and casualties on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, Toivo Klaar, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, wrote on Twitter.

“It’s important for the sides to de-escalate and make full use of available mechanisms, in particular the hotline between MoDs established under EU auspices in November 2021,” Klaar wrote.

He also added, that the EU is ready to work with sides for a distancing of forces and reiterated readiness to provide additional support in working with Armenia and Azerbaijan on border delimitation and demarcation.
