DISINFO: NATO, EU want to turn South Caucasus into arena of confrontation with Russia
SUMMARY
NATO activity, whether in the direction of Azerbaijan or Armenian, boils down to one thing - to turn the South Caucasus into another arena of confrontation with Russia, to pit the countries of the region against each other, and then somehow to benefit from it.
The destructive nature of NATO's activities has been discussed but not that of the EU, as a structure now attached to it, regularly destructive everywhere, but now in the South Caucasus.
Wherever this aggressive bloc appears, new dividing lines are drawn, a confrontational agenda is imposed, and there is the most flagrant interference in the internal affairs of sovereign countries.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about an allegedly aggressive West and EU and NATO playing a destabilising role in the Caucasus, creating turmoil and dragging the region into chaos.
The statement was made after the Director General of NATO's International Military Staff, Lieutenant General Janusz Adamczak, visited Baku.
Pro-Kremlin outlets frequently promote the idea that the Caucasus is exclusively within Russia's zone of geopolitical dominance and attempt to discredit any other cooperation between Western countries and Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. This attempts to deny these countries their right to decide their political orientation.
This article even claims that Western/NATO countries worsen the situation. Read other similar cases claiming that The West is trying to sow chaos in Transcaucasia and that The West wants to deploy its contingent in Transcaucasia under the auspices of NATO.
Western countries support peace and security in the South Caucasus region. The EU has a strong interest in a politically stable and economically prosperous Southern Caucasus in full understanding with the states there. It took a prominent mediation role in negotiation and is committed to it.
In the European Council of 26-27 October 2023, the EU leaders underlined their continued support for a sustainable and lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, based on the principles of recognition of sovereignty, inviolability of borders and territorial integrity. On July 20 2024, Politico reported how European Council President Charles Michel was renewing efforts to bring a lasting peace to the South Caucasus, as tensions rose in the region.
