EU endeavors for Armenia's participation in regional projects and opening of Turkish borders

It was concluded that after the EU/Armenia Action Plan signed the parliamentary elections and democratization process in the country have become more important.

The EU diplomat said that bringing elections in line with international standards is crucial for not only Armenia but also the South Caucasus. Andranik Markarian expressed deep concern over the construction of the Kars-Akhalkalak-Tbilisi-Baku railway project which bypasses Armenia.

Peter Semneby said the EU continues to endeavor for Armenian's participation in the projects in the South Caucasus and opening of the Turkey-Armenia borders, adding that the Union is ready to help settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

As we have close relations with both Azerbaijan and Armenia, resolution of the conflict is also to our interests. Although we don't take part in the negotiations, we support the process and offer our help, he noted.
