The continuation of the Armenia-Azerbaijan normalization process in a calm and positive atmosphere, building on past achievements and successes reached in various formats, is very important for the European Union.

Axar.az reports that the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Magdalena Grono, stated this in an interview with the Armenian media.

"All my interlocutors in Baku expressed the view that “the conflict has been settled”, that “the situation has been stabilised”, that there is “no intention to use force” and that the normalisation process should continue in all its dimensions," she said.

"Again, what I heard during my meetings was very different from what we sometimes hear in the public space. The 11th meeting of Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s border commissions took place on 16 January, as planned. I would like to welcome and commend the parties’ continued exchanges of views on future delimitation works and agreement reached on proceeding further with concrete delimitation works from the North to the South. This sends a very positive signal and I very much hope that similar progress will be ensured on other tracks, be it regarding the draft peace treaty, connectivity and resumption of communication links, or humanitarian issues. We are certainly strongly encouraging both sides to make a commitment to progress and warned about the negative impact of certain tendencies to the contrary," Grono stated.
