A new situation around the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement was created in Armenia and Azerbaijan after the presidential election, EU special representative for the South Caucasian issues Heikki Talvitie told journalists in Baku the day before. Noting about the readiness of the parties to continue talks, Talvitie emphasized that now the terms of resuming of the negotiation process should be fixed. The European Union in its turn is ready to contribute to the process, the EU special representative said announcing about his intention to visit the conflict region more frequently in 2004.
