However, and I want to emphasize this particularly, these changes also open a new epoch for Europe," he stated.

Sammut noted that the event dedicated to relations between Europe and Azerbaijan is taking place at an opportune moment and holds great significance.

Sammut also noted that he first visited Azerbaijan in 1996. According to him, 30 years ago, the country was different, and the Karabakh issue dominated not only the political agenda but also the public consciousness of the people for many years.
