Azerbaijan slams EU resolution as biased and destabilizing
Azerbaijan has strongly criticised a recent resolution by the European Parliament, calling it biased and unfounded. The government summoned the EU’s ambassador in Baku on 1 May to deliver a formal protest over the document’s content.
The resolution included demands for the return of Armenian residents to the Garabagh region, which Azerbaijan dismissed as groundless interference. Officials also rejected claims about the destruction of cultural and religious heritage, arguing that European institutions had overlooked damage to Azerbaijani sites during the occupation period.
Baku further condemned calls for the release of individuals of Armenian origin described as prisoners of war. The government labelled these demands as legally unacceptable and part of a one-sided narrative. In response, Azerbaijan issued a warning that the resolution risked undermining regional normalisation efforts. Authorities stressed that such moves could strain relations between Azerbaijan and the EU, urging Brussels to avoid actions that might disrupt the peace process.
The dispute centres on differing interpretations of post-conflict obligations and heritage protection. Azerbaijan’s protest highlights ongoing tensions over the resolution’s implications for regional stability and bilateral ties with the EU.
