FM Bayramov: Role of certain third parties to embolden Armenia’s revanchist behavior is cause for serious concern
Baku, December 12, AZERTAC
“The role of certain third parties to embolden Armenia’s revanchist behavior is also cause for serious concern, as it tempts Armenia to resort to increased military provocations and bellicose rhetoric,” said Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov as he addressed the Eastern Partnership Foreign Ministers’ meeting held in Brussels, Belgium.
“Armenia has yet to fully withdraw its illegal armed formations from the territories of Azerbaijan. In a similar vein, Armenia artificially delays the restoration of transport links, including by rejecting to provide unimpeded access between mainland Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
Instead, following reckless provocation along the undelimited state border in mid-September, Armenia has embarked on a smear campaign against Azerbaijan to hijack the normalization agenda,” he noted.
“Difficult times we are living through make it a necessity that EaP adapts and adjusts its activities to the needs and interests of partner states.
We hope that the EU`s approach towards the South Caucasus will be adapted taking into account new situation on the ground, emerging needs and priorities in the region,” FM Bayramov mentioned.
