On July 30 the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia
Edward Nalbandian received Herbert Salber, the newly appointed EU
Special Representative for the South Caucasus.
The press service of Armenia's Foreign Ministry reports that welcoming
the guest Minister Nalbandian congratulated him on his appointment as
the EU Special Representative, and expressed hope that he would apply
the experience received within the OSCE in implementing his mission.
During the meeting the latest developments in the process of the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue were discussed. The
continuous support of the EU to the efforts exerted by the OSCE Minsk
Group Co- Chairs towards the settlement of the conflict exclusively
through peaceful means was highlighted.
Minister Nalbandian drew the attention of the EU Special
Representative to the provocative actions periodically masterminded by
the Azerbaijani side on the Line of Contact between Nagorno-Karabakh
and Azerbaijan and the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
The Foreign Minister mentioned that Azerbaijan continuously rejects
the proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries aimed at
confidence-building measures - consolidation of ceasefire, withdrawal
of snipers, creation of a mechanism on investigation of incidents, and
through its destructive stance Azerbaijan hinders the progress in
negotiations.
The sides touched upon Armenia-European Union relations. Minister
Nalbandian stressed that the Joint Statement between Armenia and the
EU issued at the Vilnius Summit of Eastern Partnership in November
2013 reassured the commitment of both sides to develop and strengthen
comprehensive partnership in all possible areas of common interest.
Thoughts were exchanged on a number of regional and international issues.
