After the meeting, Borrell wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) that they discussed the “deeply concerning situation in Nagorno Karabakh”.
“The EU calls for the immediate cessation of hostilities and for Azerbaijan to stop the current military activities,” wrote Borrell.
Yesterday, Azerbaijan’s defence ministry said that it has begun “anti-terrorist” operations in its breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, under Armenian control.
