EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell assessed Azerbaijan's installation of a checkpoint in the Lachin Corridor as an act contrary to the EU's call to reduce tensions, Borrell said after the meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council.
"We discussed Azerbaijan's decision of unilaterally installing a checkpoint at the entrance to the Lachin Corridor, which contradicts our call to reduce tension. Issues should be resolved through dialogue," Borrell said.
He emphasized that Azerbaijan should build trust with the Armenian side as a basis for progress towards the normalization of relations.
