ArmInfo. The European  Parliament has welcomed the successful conclusion of the negotiations   on the full  text of the draft peace agreement between Armenia and  Azerbaijan, as reported by  Armenpress.

The European Parliament praised the Armenian authorities for  accepting Azerbaijan's proposals on the last two unresolved articles,  as well as for its declaration of readiness to sign the agreement as  soon as possible.  "We trust that the leadership of Azerbaijan will  seize this historic occasion to end decades of conflict and build a  prosperous South Caucasus by signing and implementing the Peace  Agreement," the statement notes.

"We also encourage further progress in the border delimitation  process, and on opening the regional communications on the basis of  sovereignty and jurisdiction of either country, reciprocity and  equality, as a key measure to unblock regional development, enhance  connectivity and foster sustainable peace and prosperity, as well as  facilitate reconciliation among communities based on increased  people-to-people contacts.  In the same spirit, we also trust that  the government of Turkiye will seize the opportunity to support the  current positive developments in the region and reciprocate Armenia's  readiness to open the Armenian- Turkish border for the benefit of its  own citizens and the entire South Caucasus,"  the statement reads.
