    PETER SEMNEBY: IN PROSPECTS THE RATIFICATION OF TURKEY-ARMENIA PROTOCOLS MEETS AZERBAIJAN'S INTERESTS, TOO

    Baku - APA. "Today, Armenia-Turkey relations are on the verge of
    breakthrough," EU Special Representative for South Caucasus Peter
    Semneby said in his interview to the Kommersant, APA reports.

    According to him, it is good that the relations between the two
    countries have gotten off the ground. Semneby said opening of
    Turkey-Armenia border may be the first step in dealing with abnormal
    situation.

    "The situation, when three regional borders - Armenia-Turkey,
    Azerbaijan-Armenia and Russia-Georgia borders are closed, is abnormal.

    It impedes the normal development of the region. The process of
    the ratification of the protocols is very complex, but it meets the
    interests of both countries. I am sure that in prospects it meets the
    interests of Azerbaijan, too, as this country is also interested in
    the opening of the borders in the region. The war in Georgia revealed
    vulnerability of the South Caucasian countries. This vulnerability
    may be eliminated through solution to these problems. I am sure
    that Armenian leadership also thinks so. Present status-quo of
    Nagorno-Karabakh is not in Armenia's interests, it cannot last
    forever. To reach all these goals mutual confidence should be
    strengthened in the Caucasus. The third parties, like Russia and the
    European Union, should demonstrate activeness. I hope together we
    will ensure dialogue," he said.
