Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov received a delegation led by Marie Anne Ishler Begen, chairman of the interparliamentary commission of EU-Azerbaijan cooperation.
The visitor voiced satisfaction with the intensive ties between the parliaments and noted that the recent discussions held in Brussels on October 6-7 and the adopted statement are important for prospects of cooperation.

Stressing the need to raise attention of the European Parliament to frozen conflicts following the recent events in the region, Begen said it is important to intensify efforts for the conflicts resolution.

In turn, Mamedyarov noted that the unsettled conflicts in the South Caucasus hamper security, cooperation and consistent development. He noted that the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict can only be settled on the basis of the principle of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

"EU should intensify efforts to ensure security, cooperation and mutual understanding in the Caucasus", said Mamedyarov.
