Future Aggression of Azerbaijan to be Monitored on Site: Marukyan

Special envoy Edmon Marukyan made a post on his Facebook page, commenting on the joint statement issued yesterday by the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, France, and the European Council, in which Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity.

Marukyan's statement is as follows:

“These are the agreements from the meeting held on October 6, 2022, between Prime Minister Pashinyan, President Aliyev, President Macron, and President Michel:

1. Azerbaijan has agreed to cooperate with the EU civilian mission along the border. Therefore, future aggression from Azerbaijan will be monitored on site, and the already occupied portions of Armenia's sovereign territory will also be documented.
2. It should be recalled that the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, announced on October 5, 2022, that the EU wanted to send an observer mission to the contact zone, but it was not dispatched due to Azerbaijan's opposition.
3. Azerbaijan has agreed to recognize Armenia according to the UN Charter and the Alma-Ata Declaration, after which Azerbaijan can no longer make any territorial claims against Armenia's sovereign territory in the delimitation process, which also means that Azerbaijani armed forces must withdraw from the territories they have occupied until now.

We would like to remind that yesterday a meeting was held between the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, France, and the European Council, after which a statement was issued regarding the agreement between the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to recognize the territorial integrity of both countries, and an EU civilian mission will be deployed on the Armenian side of the border. The mission will commence its activities in October, for a maximum period of two months.
