Azerbaijan, besides being committed to its international obligations, will resolutely prevent attempts to legitimize illegal activity on its territories, MFA Spokesperson Aykhan Hajizada said in a commentary on the statement by Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, about the situation in the region.
He said that Azerbaijan made a proposal to utilize Aghdam-Khankandi and other alternative routes, taking into account threats originating from Armenia: “Despite the fact that this proposal of Azerbaijan is being supported by international partners, including the European Union and the ICRC, obstacles, and prevention of transportation of goods by blocking the roads by Armenia and those who present themselves as representatives of the Armenian residents is a clear proof that the speculations on the ‘tense humanitarian situation’ is nothing than political manipulation.”
