The European Union’s decision to send military aid to Armenia following steps taken by France to equip Armenia with Bastion multi-purpose armored vehicles and Caesar self-propelled artillery units is an extremely wrong and dangerous step and serves to increase tensions in the region.
As reported by Day.Az, this was stated by the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Ayhan Hajizade, answering a media question about military aid to Armenia within the framework of the “European Peace Fund”.
He noted that such actions on the part of the European Union are clearly one-sided and biased, representing a manifestation of a policy of creating “dividing lines” in the region.
“The said military aid to Armenia and calls for further increase of such aid will serve to strengthen the military potential and destructive activities in the region of Armenia, which has kept part of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan under occupation for almost 30 years and even now does not give up its claims regarding our territorial integrity.
We strongly protest against this decision of the Council of the European Union and expect transparent information on the assistance provided.
The European Union must put an end to such steps that promote the policy of armament and militarization in the region and understand that there is no alternative to peace and cooperation in the region. Otherwise, the responsibility for any possible destabilizing provocation by Armenia will be shared by the European Union,” he noted.
