"The three borders must be opened"
EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby paid a one-day visit to Azerbaijan where he had consultations with the country's top officials.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and Armenian-Turkish relations, as well as energy issues, are the main topics we discussed at our meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov," EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby said in Baku.
He did not comment specifically on his talks with the Azerbaijani leadership.
Semneby said the frequent meetings between the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers to resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is a positive factor in settling the conflict.
"There have been a great deal of meeting and these cannot result in a loss," he added.
Peter Semneby noted that the situation is rather tense in South Caucasus since the three main borders - Armenian-Turkish, Armenian-Azerbaijani and Georgian-Russian remain closed.
We must have a starting point and I expect serious steps in this direction, added the EU Special Representative.
