“Encouraging news from Washington. EU welcomes the sustained engagement from the Armenian and Azerbaijani FMs in 4 days of negotiations,” he tweeted.

“Progress can only be made through dialogue. We continue to stand with Armenia and Azerbaijan and work with our partners in the quest for sustained peace,” Klaar added.

Javier Colomina, the NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, also expressed his support and welcomed the talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan hosted by the United States this week.

“Good to hear that tangible progress towards a durable peace agreement was made in Washington after four days of constructive engagement between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Colomina said in a tweet on May 6. 

Colomina also emphasized that negotiations and dialogue are the only way forward, and NATO supports the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
