BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 9. The presentation
of persons of Armenian origin accused and convicted of crimes
against humanity and war crimes as "prisoners" and the definition
of their release as a separate priority is a serious distortion of
reality and is unacceptable, Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry said in
a statement, Trend
reports.
The statement highlighted that, despite numerous provisions in
the EU-Armenia agreement that support Armenia’s "peace crossroads"
initiative, an effort that lacks regional consensus, the absence of
any mention of the Trump Roadmap for International Peace and
Prosperity (TRIPP) project is particularly concerning. This
project, which was established within the framework of the
normalization process, holds significant relevance, especially in
light of the Washington summit held on August 8.
The omission of TRIPP raises serious questions regarding
Armenia’s commitment to fulfilling the obligations outlined in the
agreement, which was signed by Armenia’s Prime Minister in
Washington, as well as the EU’s stated support for this
initiative.
