EU Special Representative for South Caucasus received by Azerbaijani Foreign Minister

Baku/17.08.23/Turan: On August 16, 2023, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Ceyhun Bayramov, received the Special Representative of the European Union for the South Caucasus, Toivo Klaar.

According to the Foreign Ministry, the sides exchanged views on the process of normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations, negotiations mediated by international partners, including the European Union, as well as on the current regional situation.

Bayramov stressed that Armenia's military and political provocations in the region, false and unfounded statements about the "blockade" and "tense humanitarian situation" do not serve peace and stability.

Note that Armenia violates the agreements supported by the European Union on the use of the Aghdam-Khankyandi road and the intensification of traffic along the Lachin road, as well as on dialogue with representatives of the Armenian population for their reintegration. All this indicates that Armenia is not interested in the normalization process, Bayramov noted.

The sides also discussed other bilateral and regional issues of mutual interest, the report says. -16d-
