"President Ilham Aliyev gave the most convincing answer to the provocative position of the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Relations and Security Policy, Vice President of the EU Commission Jozep Borrell. Forum titled "Karabakh: Back Home After 30 Years" with the participation of 60 foreign experts representing 30 countries. At the "Achievements and Challenges" Forum, our head of state declared that even the Armenians themselves admit that the experienced European diplomat - Joseph Borrell is lying. That is, while the Armenians claim that 100,000 people left Karabakh, J. Borrell artificially exaggerates the numbers and complains about the "violation of the rights" of 150,000 people", - Ednews reports that this was said by Member of the Milli Majlis (Azerbaijan Parliament) Konul Nurullayeva.
"As President Ilham Aliyev said, this is not only a manipulation of numbers, these are baseless accusations against Azerbaijan. Of course, diplomats like Borrel are responsible for this. It is absurd that Borrell supports the separatists despite the fact that his country is suffering from separatism.
Official Baku's position is that the position of people like Borrel and Metsola is in conflict with the interests of the European Union. This biased approach ignores the mutual cooperation established between the European Union and Azerbaijan. President Ilham Aliyev rightly at the international Karabakh Forum called the European Parliament as an institution "a group of irresponsible people". Indeed, the anti-Azerbaijani position of pro-Armenian MPs creates a feeling of disgust. It is no secret that those who adopted more than 10 biased resolutions against Azerbaijan also took these steps for the sake of corporate interests.
EU Commission Vice President Jozep Borrell's indifference to the illegal presence of the Armenian armed forces on the territory of Azerbaijan, which is the main source of threats to Azerbaijan and the condition for anti-terrorist measures, is an example of open bias against our country."
MP also added that, it is well known to the European Union - who ignores the problem of Azerbaijanis whose rights were violated during the 30-year occupation - that 15,000 Armenians who left the liberated territories of Azerbaijan were members of the Armenian army.
"Official Baku rightly values such false statements of Jozep Borrell as a factor that undermines EU's mediation efforts and European Council President Charles Michel's mission in this direction. At the International Forum, our head of state also declared that Azerbaijan is a strategic partner with nine members of the European Union, i.e. one third of the EU. Azerbaijan has always supported Charles Michel's efforts to put an end to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. Several meetings were organized by Charles Michel in Brussels. Our head of state declared that a possible new meeting is currently being discussed. In this sense, provocative and provocative statements of EU officials should be stopped."
