Introduction
The EU and its members do not necessarily consider that peace and security are always best served through the formation of new states or a change of territorial borders. As recent cases evince, a commitment to pragmatic reasoning does not imply that this regional organization, or a majority of its members, has become more prone to support the aspirations of secessionist movements instead of reaffirming territorial integrity and state sovereignty in conflicts over these matters. Recognizing the extremely complex context of the high postmodernity of the current global situation, this study is devoted to genealogy, a critical analysis and the importance of the concepts of space / spatiality, territory / territoriality and sovereignty for the theory of international relations. The biggest problem for Azerbaijan is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The conflict with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh has led to a precarious ceasefire and dead-locked Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) peace negotiations. The EU prioritizes the official mediation executed by the OSCE Minsk Group.
