EU member states are facing aggressive separatist tendencies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan (MFA) said in a commentary in response to groundless accusations against Azerbaijan by Josep Borrell, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Report informs.
“Against the backdrop of EU member states facing aggressive separatist tendencies, attempts by the EU foreign policy body to incite separatism in the territory of Azerbaijan with regard to our country’s just struggle against existing threats in its sovereign territories are a source of serious concern.
“The EU's attempts to supply Armenia with weaponry and thereby support its insidious militarization policy that undermines peace and stability in our region encourage a policy leading to new confrontations in the region that lays a responsibility on the EU. Plans to employ the European Peace Facility, which, among other areas, implies the buildup of military capabilities, serve to exacerbate tensions in the region,” the MFA said.
