Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov has met with European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus Toivo Klaar.

The meeting revolved around the prospects of the draft peace treaty and the normalization issues between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as the latest situation in the region, and the steps taken towards reintegration of the local Armenian residents of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.

Emphasizing Azerbaijan’s interest in the positive results of the meetings held through the mediation of international partners, including the European Union, Minister Jeyhun Bayramov underlined that after 30 years, a historic opportunity had arisen to secure peace and stability in the region.

FM Bayramov also highlighted the efforts by Azerbaijan towards reintegration of the local Armenian residents of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, adding that the process of registration of local Armenian residents is being continued via the electronic portal created by the Azerbaijani side.
