ArmInfo. MEPs Nathalie Loiseau and Loucas Fourlas criticized the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, former Prime Minister of Estonia Kaja Kallas for his intention to visit Azerbaijan.
MEP Nathalie Loiseau posted the following message on her X account:
"Dear Kaja Kallas, going to an autocracy which keeps on threatening its neighbor without going to Armenia in the same trio is a mistake. Baku targets an EU member state with malign interference and sides with Russia, when democratic Armenia looks towards Europe."
Cypriot MEP Loucas Fourlas noted in his post:
"The planned visit of European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas to Azerbaijan on April 25 raises serious concerns. This visit comes amid Azerbaijan's continued cross-border violence, the illegal detention of Armenian civilians, and open threats against the EU Mission in Armenia."
The EU Press Service previously reported that the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas will pay an official visit to Azerbaijan on April 25. During the visit, she will meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov. Press statements are planned after the meeting with the Foreign Minister. In the second part of the visit, Kaja Kallas will meet with young ambassadors of Europe.
