Austrian Foreign Minister: EU seeks to build trust between Azerbaijan and Armenia

“The biggest shortcoming in the region is trust. Our visit aims to study how the European Union can contribute to building trust between Azerbaijan and Armenia through close coordination with the OSCE,” Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Challenberg said during a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Notably, the Foreign Ministers of the three European Union countries – Austria, Lithuania, Romania Alexander Challenberg, Gabrielius Landsbergis, and Bogdan Aurescu visited Armenia as part of a tour of the South Caucasus.

The foreign ministers of three EU countries – Austria, Lithuania, and Romania – have arrived in the South Caucasus on the instructions of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell. Today the ministers visited Baku and met with the Azerbaijani leadership. After Yerevan, EU foreign ministers will arrive in Tbilisi tomorrow. The Georgian capital will host a press conference at the end of the visit.
