Azerbaijan and Armenia Relations Are Not EU’s Business: Aliyev

The relations between Turkey and Armenia, as well as Azerbaijan and Armenia, are not the business of the EU. This was stated by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

“The further away the European Union is from these issues, the better it is for everyone,” he said.

Aliyev expressed surprise upon learning of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s comments made in Uzbekistan during the summit of Central Asian leaders and EU heads. Von der Leyen had spoken about the opening of borders between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as Armenia and Turkey, to facilitate the development of the Middle Corridor.

“It was very strange, as that corridor already exists, and Armenia has no role in it,” he emphasized.
