Azerbaijan called the resolution "On close relations between the European Union and Armenia and the need for a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia" adopted by the European Parliament on March 13, 2024 groundless and biased, a clear example of a double standard.
Azerbaijan demanded the immediate return of 4 villages occupied by Armenia. It was also said that the issue of returning 4 more villages occupied by Armenians will be resolved during the demarcation process.
Azerbaijani President Ilhom Aliyev accused France of contributing to the escalation of tensions in the region by providing military aid to Armenia.
Azerbaijan reported that the number of landmines planted by Armenians in its territory exceeded 1 million. Since the end of the war in Karabakh in 2020, 342 Azerbaijani citizens suffered from mine explosions, 65 of them, including 3 journalists, were killed.
It was found that a mine trap was left in the school in Khojavand, which was liberated from Armenian occupation.
