The Western Azerbaijan Community strongly condemns the statement made on May 29, 2024, by the spokesperson of the European Union's diplomatic service, which interferes in Azerbaijan's internal affairs and attempts to undermine the independence of the judiciary,” the Community said in a statement.

The statement says: “The European Union, which attempts to lecture Azerbaijan on human rights with false accusations, must first explain where it derives such authority from. Moreover, the European Union’s behavior is discriminatory and provocative, as it has remained indifferent to the fate of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis who were subjected to ethnic cleansing, deprived of their property and cultural heritage by Armenia. With such biased and discriminatory behavior, the European Union harms the supreme values of human rights and seeks to disrupt the positive dynamics observed towards sustainable peace in the region.

The Western Azerbaijan Community demands that the European Union abandon its biased and harmful policies, refrain from obstructing peace in the region, and demonstrate its commitment to human rights in practice by supporting the return of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia.”
