The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan responded to the statement of Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on developments in the region, Report informs.
According to MFA, Azerbaijan is committed to peace and stability with Armenia and hopes that Azerbaijan’s measures of elimination of the puppet regime and remnants of illegal Armenian military detachments will have a positive impact towards concluding a peace agreement with Armenia:
"Open disregard by the EU of constructive discussions between central Azerbaijan’s authorities and representatives of the Armenian residents held today in Yevlakh that focused on reintegration of the Armenian residents, restoration of infrastructure and organization of activities on the basis of Constitution and laws of Azerbaijan once again attests to narrow political purposes of certain circles within the EU.
"With regard to allegations on humanitarian situation, and ensuring rights and security of local Armenian residents, we bring to the attention that as a result of today’s discussion Azerbaijan with the support of its international partners as well, will provide necessary help to local Armenians to build better social and humanitarian life, and any interference into Azerbaijan’s actions in this regard would be counterproductive and useless."
