Baku expresses regret at Polish president's visit to Armenian-Azerbaijani border

BAKU. Nov 27 (Interfax) - The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has expressed its dissatisfaction with Polish President Andrzej Duda's visit to a border area of Armenia and Azerbaijan alongside members of the European Union Mission in Armenia.

The Foreign Ministry views this step as "another demonstration of anti-Azerbaijani policy of different EU member countries and European institutions."

"We deeply regret that President of the country which is officially a 'strategic partner' of Azerbaijan has participated in the unacceptable diplomatic 'binocular show' leading to the aggravation of relations between Azerbaijan and Poland," the ministry said in a statement published on the X social network.

Despite numerous messages sent by Azerbaijani officials to the Polish presidential administration and the Foreign Ministry, Warsaw "did not refrain from this provocative step," the statement said.

"Azerbaijan retains its rights to take due diplomatic measures against this unfriendly action," it said.
