lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, stability in the south Caucasus is a major concern for the European Union, as it is a region that has had a series of armed conflicts in the past and is today a major energy corridor linking Europe to the Caspian Sea. These conflicts have involved outside parties such as Russia and Turkey, and any escalation or return to hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan would be catastrophic. Therefore, improved bilateral relations, via an association agreement and a DCFTA between the EU and both Armenia and Azerbaijan, are much in the European Union’s interests. It is also to be hoped that this will give the EU more leverage with the Minsk group of the OSCE to find a lasting solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh question. I am confident that the forthcoming Armenian parliamentary elections will be free and fair, and it is essential that all EU assistance be provided to this small, land-locked country. It is also to be hoped that Turkey will reopen its border with Armenia, which has now been unjustifiably shut by Turkey for more than 20 years."@en1
