MEP Emmanouil Fragkos criticizes EU top diplomat for upcoming Azerbaijan trip

Member of the European Parliament Emmanouil Fragkos from Greece has criticized EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas for her upcoming visit to Azerbaijan.

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the European Commission is expected to travel to Azerbaijan on April 25.

“Armenia chooses democracy, adopts EU accession law, faces threats -yet the EU foreign policy chief visits autocratic Azerbaijan instead,” Emmanouil Fragkos said on X. “Why reward the aggressor and ignore the reformer? Kaja Kallas what message are you sending to democratic Armenia that defends its lands against Azerbaijan?”
