The British platform did not seem to be beneficial for Armenia.
Another meaning of this is France's inactivity in this meeting and
finally Azerbaijan's unchanging Political will.
Nikol Pashinyan's refusal to meet with the Azerbaijani President
at the summit is not only due to his own decision. Certainly, this
is also decided by the forces that navigate Armenia towards its
uncertain future.
The refusal of Azerbaijan and Turkiye to participate in the
summit in Granada in 2023 overturned the plan of the West, which
wanted to put Azerbaijan under pressure. That meeting was dedicated
to defending the separatist regime rather than fostering peace.
Because on September 19, that is, 26 days before the meeting was
kicked off, the changing geopolitical situation in Garabagh, as
well as in the region, left all Western organization's mouths
agape.
In the last 10 months, Armenia and the European Union could
finally learn to speak the proper language of diplomacy with
Azerbaijan. At the 4th EPC summit, Armenia did not need to change
its position or make such maneuvers in front of Azerbaijan while
every subject for peace was clarified.
The fact that the meeting of Azerbaijan-Armenian leaders
initiated by Great Britain did not take place is once again an
indication of Armenia's avoidance of the negotiation process and
its hypocrisy.
At other times, the Armenian leadership talks about the peace
agenda, but when there is an opportunity for a real meeting, it
disrupts this process.
This step of Armenia is also disrespectful and diplomatic
immorality towards Great Britain.
After the meeting initiated by Germany in February of this year,
Armenia tried to disrupt the process by making baseless accusations
against Azerbaijan and showed disrespect for Berlin's efforts.
Apparently, at Macron's insistence, Pashinyan is trying to
disrupt the peace initiative of any European country except France,
or Macron did not permit Pashinyan to meet in London.
Thus, having been on a working visit to England, President Ilham
Aliyev attended the 4th summit of the European Political Community
at the invitation of Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. President Ilham
Aliyev, who met and talked with the heads of state and government
of Hungary, Finland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, and other
countries, also attended the opening plenary session of the 4th
summit of the European Political Community held in Oxford. Besides
that, the Azerbaijani President participated in a roundtable on
"Energy and Connectivity" as part of the 4th summit of the European
Political Community in Oxford.
The invitation and participation of Azerbaijan to the British
platform once again demonstrates that Azerbaijan-Great Britain
relations are based on historical values. Great Britain was one of
the countries that recognized Azerbaijan's independence and is one
of the partner countries interested in cooperating with Azerbaijan
in various spheres of business. Great Britain's diplomatic and
humanitarian support to Azerbaijan during the Patriotic War is of
particular importance. Great Britain, which can always maintain a
balanced relationship with Azerbaijan among the European countries,
was distinct for always valuing Azerbaijan's political
position.
The special invitation of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham
Aliyev to the 4th European Political Community summit and his
participation in the round table meetings demonstrated to the whole
world that Azerbaijan's reputation among the developed Western
countries is at a high level. Nevertheless, Armenia's refusal to
meet with Azerbaijan within the framework of the summit may be its
independent choice. However, this cannot be considered as anything
other than undermining the processes in the direction of restoring
peace in the region.
