DISINFO: The West plan to turn the South Caucasus into a hotbed of panic

SUMMARY

Today, the West, which hypocritically plays dirty tricks on ''refugees' against our country, did not do any practical work for 30 years. In turn, forgetting the past and unfairly opening a new draft page about Azerbaijan means a direct violation of human rights.

Although Azerbaijanis were expelled from their lands by the Haylars, at the end of last year, the government of Azerbaijan invited the Armenians temporarily settled in Karabakh to reintegrate.

However, none of the biased circles against Azerbaijan expressed gratitude to our country for observing the norms and principles of international law. Today, those circles that want to take Armenia into their clutches are planning to turn the South Caucasus into a hotbed of panic.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing an allegedly aggressive West of playing a destabilising role in the Caucasus.

The EU has a strong interest in a politically stable and economically prosperous Southern Caucasus in full understanding with the states there. It took a prominent mediation role in negotiation and is committing to it.

In the European Council of 26-27 October 2023, EU leaders underlined their continued support for a sustainable and lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, based on the principles of recognition of sovereignty, inviolability of borders, and territorial integrity. The EU High Representative Josep Borrell called for the resumption of negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan and on the work done by the President of the European Council Charles Michel.

The EU has taken on a prominent mediation role in the negotiations. The US stated that it is ready to engage bilaterally, with like-minded partners, to facilitate dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
