“The presented approach towards the situation in the region by High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell in his July 26 statement, based on the propaganda and political manipulations spread by Armenia, is regrettable,” said spokesperson for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Aykhan Hajizada.
“Ignoring the grievances of Azerbaijan regarding the incomplete withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the territory of Azerbaijan, which continue to be a threat to Azerbaijan’s national security, territorial integrity, and sovereignty after the 2020 44-day war, illegal activities of Armenia via the Lachin road, transportation to the territories of Azerbaijan of ammunition and landmines, as well as the transfer of the natural resources of Azerbaijan to Armenia, and presenting the legitimate acts of Azerbaijan as the closure of the Lachin road is fundamentally wrong,” Hajizada noted.
