On 22 February 2024, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, received the European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Toivo Klaar.
During the meeting, the sides discussed the current state of Azerbaijan–European Union relations, as well as the normalization process between Azerbaijan and Armenia and the prospects of the peace agreement draft.
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov noted that after a long period of stability, the provocation by Armenia, which resulted in the injury of an Azerbaijani serviceman due to sniper fire without any provocative factor, was aimed at undermining the peace process.
Regarding the peace agreement draft, it was noted that Azerbaijan’s next comments have been submitted to the Armenian side and that we are interested in initiating the negotiation process in this direction. At the same time, the ongoing claims against Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and sovereignty in Armenia’s Constitution, legislative acts, as well as in international organizations and courts were once again recalled, and it was emphasized that these claims are unacceptable.
During the meeting, the sides also exchanged views on other bilateral and regional issues of mutual interest.
