Borrell regrets Turkey and Azerbaijan skipped summit

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has expressed regret that Azerbaijan and Turkey decided not to attend a summit of European leaders, Al Jazeera reports.

“It’s a shame that Azerbaijan isn’t here and it’s a shame that Turkey, which is the main country supporting Azerbaijan, is not here either,” Borrell said, arriving at the meeting in Granada.

“Therefore, we are not going to be able to talk here about something as serious as the fact that more than 100,000 people have had to leave their homes in a hurry and running away from an act of military force.”
