EU sees 'historic opportunity' in Armenia–Azerbaijan peace process

EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas has lauded the progress in the Armenia–Azerbaijan peace process as a 'historic opportunity.'

“The progress on the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia represents a historic opportunity, and it’s important to sustain momentum. The EU has a range of tools to support this, from supporting confidence-building measures to demining, where we’re already the biggest donor,” Kallas, who is on a visit to Azerbaijan after visiting Armenia, said, according to the APA news agency.

"Strengthening connectivity between the EU, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia is in our shared strategic interest and we’re open to discuss a more structured partnership with Azerbaijan,” she added.
