BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 20. Ambassador of
Belgium, Julien de Fraipont, and Ambassador of the Netherlands,
Marianne de Jong, were summoned to the Azerbaijani Ministry of
Foreign Affairs today, Trend reports via the Azerbaijani MFA.
During the meetings, the ministry expressed a strong protest
against the documents adopted by the Parliaments of Belgium and the
Netherlands on April 16, 2026, which are yet another irresponsible
attempt to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, as well as the ongoing peace process between Azerbaijan
and Armenia.
The ministry emphasized that the documents were drawn up in
accordance with completely false and unfounded assessments,
demonstrating a deep-rooted anti-Azerbaijani bias within these
institutions.
The ministry noted that the unacceptable claims contained in the
documents are a gross violation of international law and a clear
interference in the rule of law.
In addition, the ministry firmly and strongly rejected false
references to the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan, as well as
the alleged violation of the territorial integrity of Armenia, the
rights of persons of Armenian origin, and all unfounded accusations
regarding their alleged illegal detention.
The ministry notified the ambassadors that the adoption of the
documents was particularly paradoxical, as it coincided with the
recent meeting between the speakers of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
parliaments.
The Belgian and Dutch sides were urged to take effective
measures to prevent damage to bilateral relations caused by
anti-Azerbaijani groups in parliament.
