BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 22. The European Union's
decision to send military aid to Armenia after the steps taken by
France to equip Armenia with multipurpose armored vehicles
"Bastion" and self-propelled artillery units "Caesar" is an
extremely erroneous and dangerous step and serves to increase
tension in the region, the Spokesperson of the Azerbaijani Ministry
of Foreign Affairs Aykhan Hajizada said in a response to a media
question about the military aid to Armenia within the framework of
the "European Peace Fund," Trend reports.
He noted that such actions by the European Union are clearly
unilateral and biased, representing a manifestation of the policy
to create "dividing lines" in the region.
"The mentioned military aid to Armenia and urges for further
increase of such aid will serve to strengthen the military
potential and destructive activities in the region of Armenia,
which has kept part of the territories of the Republic of
Azerbaijan under occupation for almost 30 years and even now does
not give up claims regarding our territorial integrity.
We strongly protest against this decision of the Council of the
European Union, and we expect transparent information on the
assistance provided.
The European Union must cease such steps, which promote a policy
of armament and militarization in the region, and understand that
there is no alternative to peace and cooperation in the region.
Otherwise, the European Union will share the responsibility for any
possible destabilizing provocation by Armenia," he noted.
