According to former Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Tofik Zulfugarov, Azerbaijan should call the EU to play a more active role in the solution of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. Zulfugarov has positively evaluated the appointment of the EU representative for the South Caucasus and noted with pleasure that the selected candidate is successful one, as «Finnish diplomat Heikki Talvitie, who has earlier co-chaired the OSCE Minsk Group, is well familiar with the region and is a very experienced diplomat. The former Minister did not agree with the position like «you come to peace yourselves, then we will assist you.» «I suppose that Talvitie should be included in the work of the MG and Azerbaijan should itself author the initiative,» he noted. According to Tofik Zulfugarov, being an EU member France as a Co-Chair of the Minsk Group deliberately hampers active participation of other EU countries in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh problem.
