Priority question for written answer P-000616/2025
to the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Rule 144
Laurent Castillo (PPE)
Kaja Kallas, the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, is set to visit Armenia shortly. The EU plays a key role there through its observation mission (EUMA). This trip should be an opportunity to highlight Armenia’s sovereignty and stability in the region.
However, her regional visit could also include Azerbaijan, which raises concerns. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev repeatedly threatens Armenian sovereignty and the safety of EUMA observers stationed at the Armenian-Azerbaijan border.
- 1.Has the visit to Azerbaijan been confirmed? If so, what message will be transmitted to that country’s officials?
- 2.What policy is the EU seeking to pursue with regard to Azerbaijan? Can the Vice-President / High Representative commit to standing with the Armenian people, even if it means severing ties with Azerbaijan, particularly when it comes to energy? Does she intend to suspend the 2022 Memorandum of Understanding on the Strategic Partnership in the Field of Energy between the EU and Azerbaijan?
- 3.What stage has been reached in the process of demarcating the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which the EUMA is involved in?
