"EU is confident Armenia-Turkey rapprochement will open new possibilities for NKR settlement. RA-Turkey normalization creates positive dynamics. In a situation where Armenian government has to face a number of issues simultaneously, the normalization provides a possibility to focus on further issues. I believe Armenian authorities understand that status-quo on NKR can't last forever," EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Ambassador Peter Semneby stated.

According to him, specific concessions are not to be discussed at the moment. " Madrid principles specify solutions for both parties. Concessions are made on both sides, and the most complicated issues, such as Karabakh status, are put off. Still, both parties progressed along the way of discussing solution mechanisms. Should a positive atmosphere be created other issues will also be detailed on," Swiss diplomat emphasized, Vremya Novostey reported.
