Peter Semneby to visit Azerbaijan next month

He told the APA exclusively from Brussels that his next visit to Azerbaijan would be realized within the tour to the South Caucasus. EU representative intends to leave Baku for Yerevan and then the occupied Azerbaijani territories.

"The aim of my visit to Azerbaijan and Armenia is to support the initiatives on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The European Union supports the development of the process of settlement and is interested in the quickening of this process," he said.

Peter Semneby said his visit to Nagorno Karabakh does not mean the recognition of the so-called state, functioning in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.

"The EU does not recognize and will not recognize 'Nagorno Karabakh Republic' functioning in the conflicting zone. But anyway we should hold negotiations with both parties."
