Statement by EU High Representative for Foreign Relations and Security Policy Josep Borel
23 January 2024, 08:56

The High Representative of the European Union for External Relations and Security Policy, Josef Borel, continues to make slanderous statements against Azerbaijan. With these statements, the European Union once again proves that it does not take a neutral position in the process of normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia. It is regrettable that the representative of the institution, which has never mentioned that Armenia has been occupying Azerbaijani lands for almost thirty years, takes a biased position against Azerbaijan. In such circumstances, the EU mediation mission in the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia has no chance.

The speech of a representative of an international organization, declaring that he wants to contribute to the process as a mediator, with a statement in a threatening tone towards one of the parties is incompatible with the essence of the principle of “mediation” and cannot be accepted. The West Azerbaijan Community once again calls on the EU side to abandon unfair and accusatory rhetoric against Azerbaijan.
