ArmInfo. Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry commented on the statement by EU
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine
Ashton on April 6, calling on Armenia and Turkey to ratify the
protocols on normalization of relations, Press Secretary of the
Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov told APA.
"Azerbaijan understands EU’s desire to help Armenian economy, but If
EU wants to be committed to the balanced policy, it should not forget
about the fact of occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia,"
he said. "We hope that Ms. Ashton will take the situation in the
region into account in future and keep the illegal occupation of
territories of Azerbaijan under his vigilant control"- said E.
Polukhov.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that the Armenian-Turkish process
bears no relation to Azerbaijan and much less to the false and vague
data of Polukhov on the poor results of Azerbaijan’s aggression
against Nagorny Karabakh. For some evident reasons Polukhov does not
want to remember of the pogroms of the Armenian population in
Azerbaijan during the war unleashed by Azerbaijan as well as of the
continuing militarists statements by his leadership.
