EU Envoy Hopes "Both" Armenia and Azerbaijan ‘Will Withdraw’ Troops

Not only Azerbaijan but also Armenia should withdraw troops from contested areas along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, a senior EU diplomat said on Monday.



Azerbaijani troops seized chunks of what Armenia regards as its internationally recognized territory during border clashes in 2021 and 2022. Speaking shortly after the deadliest of those clashes that broke out in September, the EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, acknowledged that they “occupied part of Armenia’s territory” and demanded their withdrawal from those border areas.

 Andrea Wiktorin, the head of the EU Delegation in Armenia, essentially equated Armenia with Azerbaijan when she commented on the matter during a joint news conference with Hovannisyan.

“It is really important to come to an agreement,” she said. “Actually it is our hope that both sides will withdraw their troops and embark on the work of the delimitation and demarcation.”
