EU’S BORRELL REGRETS TURKEY AND AZERBAIJAN SKIPPED SUMMIT

General

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell expressed great regret on Thursday that Azerbaijan and Turkey had decided not to attend a summit of European leaders, amid tension over the Karabakh conflict.

“It’s a shame that Azerbaijan isn’t here and it’s a shame that Turkey, which is the main country supporting Azerbaijan, is not here either,” Borrell said, arriving at the European Political Community meeting in Granada.

“Therefore, we are not going to be able to talk here about something as serious as the fact that more than 100,000 people have had to leave their homes in a hurry and running away from an act of military force.”
