Today, President Serzh Sargsyan received the EU Special Representative
for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia Philippe Lefort.
The parties discussed issues pertaining to Armenia-EU relations and
development of cooperation, the current stage of the NK peace process
and the situation after the release of the Azeri murderer Ramil Safarov
and the response of the international community to that incident.
Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude to various countries, different
international organizations, including a number of European structures
for the declarations on unequivocal and stern condemnation of the
release and glorification of the murderer Safarov. At the same time,
President Sargsyan assessed as unacceptable and incomprehensible
some so called "balanced" while actually absolutely inappropriate
responses to that hideous act. Glorification of the criminal by the
Azerbaijani authorities, according to Serzh Sargsyan, calls for the
unconditional denunciation, particularly by our EU partners.
The EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus noted that after
the meeting with the President of Armenia he will be leaving for Baku
and expects clarifications from the Azerbaijani authorities regarding
the aforementioned step.
Philippe Lefort underscored that EU condemns this step, which is
detrimental for the mutual trust among the parties of the NK conflict
and said that in the peace process EU supports the efforts of the
OSCE Minsk Group.
At the meeting with the President of Armenia, the EU Special
Representative spoke also about the development of EU cooperation
with Armenia and readiness to assist Armenia in its efforts aimed
at Eurointegration. He noted that works are already underway to
organize a donor conference for Armenia with the participation of
the representatives of the international financial institutions.
