    Baku. Tamara Grigoryeva - APA. Special representative of the European
    Union for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby held a press conference on
    the outcomes of his visit to Azerbaijan, APA reports. Peter Semneby
    said the main aim of his visit was to study the state of preparation
    for the elections in the country. The special representative said
    he had met with President Ilham Aliyev, Foreign Elmar Mammadyarov,
    Interior Minister Ramil Usubov and the representatives of a number of
    NGOs and noted that the election was a good opportunity for laying the
    foundation of democratic development and creating political culture
    in the countries, which have newly chosen the way of democracy.

    "We attach great importance to the cooperation with Azerbaijan. At
    the meetings with officials it was stated that Azerbaijani side also
    attached great significance to this cooperation. Positive assessment of
    the elections by the international mission is very important", he said.

    Peter Semneby said negative processes in the countries had influence
    on the elections, but he did not want to comment beforehand.

    "We hope that Azerbaijan will do its best to achieve positive
    assessment of the election", he said.

    Touching upon the Nagorno Karabakh problem, Peter Semneby noted
    that EU supported the efforts of Azerbaijan and Armenia towards the
    settlement of the conflict.

    "It is good that the two presidents met after a long break in June
    this year. Though no agreement was reached, it is important for the
    sides to make a step forward", he said.

    The special representative said high-level meetings in the field of
    energy would take place between EU and Azerbaijan.
