“The Western Azerbaijan Community (WAC) expresses its deep concern over Polish President Andrzej Duda's recent visit to the conditional border between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” the Western Azerbaijan Community said in a statement.
“We have repeatedly emphasized that majority of areas patrolled by the EU Mission in Armenia are historical places of residence for the Western Azerbaijanis, who have been repeatedly subjected to deportation, and witnessed the destruction and devastation of their lands. Unfortunately, our appeals to the European Union in this regard have remained unanswered.
We remind the Polish President, who stated that he would like Armenians to live peacefully on their land within clearly defined borders, that we have not heard such statements from Poland regarding Azerbaijan when Azerbaijani territories were under occupation.
Regarding the Polish President's statement that his country “could be more actively involved in the settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” we note that Poland has its own problems with neighbouring countries, and it would be more logical for Poland to focus on resolving its own problems.
We urge Poland to avoid steps that could aggravate the situation in the South Caucasus. Armenia must understand that it is impossible to achieve peace in the region through cheap shows like “binocular diplomacy” or by looking to adventurers like Luis Ocampo and Greta Thunberg as “new saviors,” the Community added.
