"Armenia has long been a weapon for the West's geopoliticalgoals in the area, and it has actively participated in thisprocess. Notably, the European Union's civilian mission was plannedto be temporary, lasting only two months, but it has since grown than 200 people are currently working, including formerintelligence and military officials. This expansion suggests agradual shift to the mission's paramilitarization," he noted.
Huseynov indicated that during the April 5 meeting in Brusselsamong the head of the European Union Commission, the US Secretaryof State, and the Armenian Prime Minister, discussions will coverthe militarization of the mission and the proposed support plan forArmenia, particularly focusing on defense and securityguarantees.
"There is even a possibility of signing a pact. All thesemeetings, contacts, and activities aimed at arming Armenia haveacquired the character of taking the region to a new level ofescalation and tension.
Armenia is solely utilized as a useful tool in this context. Atthe same time, they intend to transform an integrated region withnumerous prospects for collaboration into a powder keg. The West'stransfer of weapons to Armenia under the guise of security, as wellas the arrival of various instructors and persons to improve theArmenian Armed Forces in Yerevan, endangers regional security, andAzerbaijan strongly condemns both these meetings and thedestructive activities of the European Union mission in Armenia,"he added.
