received at the Parliament's Heydar Aliyev Hall European Union
Commissioner for Enlargement Janez Potocnik.
During the warm conversation, the Speaker noted that since
independence, Azerbaijan has been closely cooperating with all the
international structures including the European Union, which also
keeps the successful implementation of the reforms initiated by
nationwide leader of the Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev in the
limelight.
He further pointed out that the Agreement on partnership and
cooperation between the European Union and Azerbaijan had played a
key role in follow-up development of the relations. The Milli Majlis
is also closely cooperating with the European Parliament, Mr.
Alasgarov said.
The Speaker has touched upon the conflicts in the Southern Caucasus,
and informed the guest in detail on the roots and hard consequences
of the Armenia-Armenia conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, fair stance of
Azerbaijan with respect to the conflict's resolution and documents
adopted in this regard by the UN Security Council, the Council of
Europe and other international organizations.
Commissioner for Enlargement Janez Potocnik announced that after the
EU's recent enlargement, it had prepared a number of new projects
covering Turkey and Southern Caucasus including Azerbaijan. He noted
that the European Union highly appreciates the official Baku's
support for the new neighborhood policy. According to him, the
relevant documents reflect development of market economy and
democracy in Azerbaijan, communications, border problems and the
issues related to reconstruction and improvement of infrastructure.
Mr. Potocnik stressed that the European Union stands for peaceful
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and added that as soon
as its fair solution is found, the organization would be very
actively evolved in restoration of the territories released from the
occupation.

Asgarov, Chief of the Milli Majlis Administration Safa Mirzayev,
other parliamentarians and the EU Special Envoy for Southern Caucasus
