Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has accused the European Parliament of sabotaging the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Addressing the 8th European Political Community (EPC) summit in Yerevan via video link on Monday, Aliyev said the European Parliament had adopted 14 resolutions over the past five years containing offensive language directed at Baku.
“This body, instead of supporting the peace process, is effectively engaged in sabotaging it. From May 2021 to April 30, 2026, the European Parliament has adopted 14 resolutions full of offensive wording against Azerbaijan. Just imagine — 14 resolutions in five years — a kind of obsession. And the latest one was adopted just four days ago,” Aliyev stated.
Aliyev said the Azerbaijani parliament decided on May 1 to suspend cooperation with the European Parliament in all spheres and initiate procedures to terminate its membership in the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly.
On May 1, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry summoned EU Ambassador to Baku Mariana Kuyuncic who was handed a protest note regarding the European Parliament resolution Supporting Democratic Resilience in Armenia.
