BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 14. The EU will continue
to support the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, EU
Ambassador Marijana Kujundzic said at the event in Baku dedicated
to Europe Day, Trend reports.
"Defending Europe also means supporting peace, stability, and
international law beyond our borders. This is why the EU considers
the stability and prosperity of the South Caucasus crucial to our
security. The future of both sides is interconnected. We will
continue to support the peace process between Azerbaijan and
Armenia, including through initiatives to develop transport
infrastructure and demining, to which the EU is already the largest
donor," she said.
Kujundzic noted that following the recent drone strikes from
Iran into Azerbaijan, the EU declared its unconditional support for
Azerbaijan. Shortly thereafter, European Council President António
Costa visited Baku and expressed full solidarity with Azerbaijan
and its people.
"High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and
Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas also
expressed solidarity with Azerbaijan during a phone conversation
with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov immediately after
the incident," she added.
