Toivo Klaar: EU works to build trust between Azerbaijan and Armenia

The EU has worked extensively with Azerbaijan and Armenia to build trust between the two countries, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia Toivo Klaar said at the TRT World Forum in Istanbul, according to TRT World Forum.

According to Klaar, there is a real desire for peace and opportunity for peace. But after 30 years of conflict, it takes a lot to build trust, and the EU has to take more steps in achieving this goal.

"Leadership is essential from both Yerevan and Baku. It’s not just about having leaders, it’s about bringing the populations and societies together," he said.
