ArmInfo.The EU is heavily engaged with the war in Ukraine, but that does not mean the EU is forgetting about its friends in the South Caucasus, Toivo Klaar, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia, stated in an interview factor.am.
“And my mission here is the demonstration of that. For example, last week, President [of the European Council Charles] Michel met with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the highest level, and the EU is more than ever committed to working with our partners for a peaceful and prosperous South Caucasus. So the message is very simple. We are not going anywhere even if we are very much concerned about what is happening in Ukraine. Wee are here, in the South Caucasus, to support our friends,” Mr Klaar said.
Asked about the EU expectations of Armenia’s position on Ukraine, Mr Klaar said that the EU realizes it is a challenging situation in Armenia.
“We appreciate all the efforts that Armenia has made and is making and we are in close contact with the Armenian authorities. We recognize that Armenia has very particular position, and we respect it,” Mr Klaar said.
