"I am glad that the leadership of Azerbaijan has a clear understanding that this agreement will be mutually beneficial," said Holen.
The work on this issue continues, he noted and underscoring Azerbaijan's achievements in the field of development of transport communications. So, he called the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway - an important strategic project that will turn Azerbaijan into a transport hub.
According to him, the EU seeks to use communications in the region that connect Europe with Asia. At the same time, he refrained from assessing the effectiveness of the BTC, referring to the fact that the project is only two months old and its potential has not been used much yet.
