EU official: Political will and skilful diplomacy can bring a final solution to the NK conflict

Vice President of the European Commission for Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič had an interview with Azerbaijani Press Agency. Among other issues, he also referred to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. According to him, the EU engages in the South Caucasus to support a stable and prosperous neighbourhood.

“One main obstacle for the region to prosper is the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which prevents Azerbaijan and the whole region from realising their full potential. The EU has appealed for restraint and further engagement of the sides in peaceful and constructive negotiations. Only political will and skilful diplomacy can bring a final solution to the NK conflict. I believe a strong and prosperous South Caucasus region will play an even more important role in the future as energy provider on the world stage”, the EU official stated, according to Azerbaijani source.
