“Following the steps taken by France to equip Armenia with
“Bastion” multi-purpose armored vehicles and“Caesar”
self-propelled artillery systems, the European Union's decision to
send military aid to Armenia is an erroneous and dangerous step
that serves to increase tension in the region. Such actions by the
European Union are unilateral and biased, and is a manifestation of
the policy of creating“dividing lines” in the region,” said
spokesperson for Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizada in
response to a question from local media.
“The aforementioned military aid to Armenia and calls for
increasing such support in the future will serve to Armenia's
military buildup and its destructive activities in the region, as a
country which had occupied part of the territory of the Republic of
Azerbaijan for nearly 30 years, and currently does not give up its
claims against our territorial integrity.
We strongly object to this decision by the Council of the
European Union and expect transparent information about the aid to
be provided.
The European Union must put an end to such steps, which
contribute to the policy of military buildup and militarization in
the region, and recognize that there is no alternative to peace and
cooperation in the region. Otherwise, the European Union will also
share responsibility with Armenia for any possible destabilizing
provocations,” Hajizada added.
