My visit to the Eastern Partnership countries is a message of the EU’s work in the region. This is due to our commitment to security, stability and prosperity in the region, mobilizing the capabilities and resources of the European Union as a result of dialogue with partners and knowing the different expectations of the Eastern Partnership partners.

The statement came from EU Council President Charles Michel at a joint press conference with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, AZERTAC reported.

Speaking about the situation in Azerbaijan and Armenia, Charles Michel addressed President Ilham Aliyev: “Before this visit, a few weeks ago, we had several telephone conversations to exchange views on the analysis of the regional situation. I would like to thank you for your commitments. They were the first steps taken. In this case, on the one hand, the availability of mine maps and, on the other hand, the issue of prisoners is an important issue. In the first stage, it was resolved. We hope that other stages related to this issue will take place in the near future. ”

The President of the Council of the European Union noted that the European Union is ready to support efforts to make progress on various issues. “For example, it is a question of delimitation of borders, and for this we are ready to provide European expert assistance and, if necessary and desired, European monitoring. As for the delimitation of borders, there is also the issue of the armed forces located close to the disputed areas. I think this issue should also be discussed, “said Charles Michel.
