Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and EU High
Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep
Borrell have discussed the Baku-Yerevan normalization and regional
security issues, Azernews reports, citing the ministry.
In their telephone conversation on October 10, the diplomats
discussed the outcome of the October 6 quadrilateral meeting in
Prague between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan under the auspices of French
President Emmanuel macron and EU Council President Charles Michel,
as well as the issues arising from it, and the regional
situation.
Borrell updated Bayramov on the preparations for the European
Union's mission to Armenia, as agreed in the Prague meeting. He
also highly appreciated the outcome of the Prague summit,
emphasizing the EU's commitment to bringing peace and stability to
the region.
Bayramov, for his part, expressed his expectations of the Prague
meeting in terms of its contribution to regional peace.
Furthermore, he stressed that elements of a possible peace proposal
had been submitted to Armenia during the Geneva summit, underlining
the importance of the peace deal, as well as the delimitation of
the borders as soon as possible.
The Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders came together to discuss
future peace deal under the auspices of French President Emmanuel
Macron, as well as European Council President Charles Michel in
Prague on October 6, on the sidelines of the first European
Political Community Summit.
Following the meeting, the leaders reaffirmed their adherence to
the UN Charter and the Alma Ata Declaration of 1991, in which both
parties accept each other's territorial integrity and
sovereignty.
The nations confirmed that this will serve as a basis for the
work of the commissions on delimitation and that the next meeting
of these commissions will take place in Brussels by the end of
October.
Furthermore, Armenia expressed its willingness to support the EU
civilian border mission. Azerbaijan agreed to cooperate with the
mentioned mission to the extent it will be concerned. The mission
will start its work in October, for a maximum period of two months.
The mission's goal will be to instill trust and support border
commissions through its reports.
