“There are enough opportunities that may facilitate the process of negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” special representative of the European Union for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby said, APA’s correspondent reports from Brussels.
He mentioned that the European Union had not been directly involved in the settlement of Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict.

“We support the efforts of OSCE Minsk Group. I hope there are enough opportunities to facilitate the process of negotiations. It is obvious that it serves the interests of both countries. If transport relations and communications open in the South Caucasus, security will strengthen in the region,” he said.

Semneby said one of the main obstacles in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict is lack of information provision.

“The two societies had no information about each other for along time. There are new generations in both countries having no information about each other. At best they do not accept each other, at worst they see each other as enemies,” he said.
