Azerbaijan MFA: Josep Borrell’s threatening rhetoric further aggravates Azerbaijan-EU relations

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated that “the threatening rhetoric of Josep Borrell is an example of double standards that further aggravates relations between Azerbaijan and the EU.”

“Misrepresentation of facts by the EU High Representative is an open disregard of Azerbaijan’s legitimate interests, and such threatening rhetoric is a clear example of double standards that further aggravates Azerbaijan-EU relations,” the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.

Earlier, Josep Borrell said during a press conference in Brussels that the EU is concerned about Azerbaijan’s territorial claims against Armenia and called for a return to peace and normalization talks.

Borrell noted that any violation of Armenia’s territorial integrity will be unacceptable and will have severe consequences for the EU’s relations with Azerbaijan.
