Russian Foreign Minister criticizes the idea of placing an EU mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border
Baku/18.01.23/Turan: The deployment of the EU mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border without the consent of Baku is counterproductive, a press conference in Moscow by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
"Despite the fact that we are allies, that the CSTO mission is fully prepared, the Armenian side prefers to negotiate with the EU so that a mission of civilian observers is stationed there on a long-term basis," he said. "This is the border with Azerbaijan, and, probably, if this mission is unfold without the consent of Azerbaijan, it can simply be counterproductive. Instead of building confidence on the border, it can create additional irritants," Lavrov said.
At the same time, he announced his readiness to send a CSTO Mission to the border of the two countries. "We still remain ready to send a CSTO mission to the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan," he said. --02D--
