Continuing the implementation of the peace agenda in the Caucasus, Azerbaijan seeks to find ways to cooperate with its neighbors, while initiating a peaceful approach and discussion in the 3+3 format proposed by Baku. In turn, the positive implementation of this format accompanies economic growth, defensive power, and strengthening cooperation between neighbors and participants of this format. What remains to be resolved is the issue of imposed propaganda from European countries that want to destabilize relations and sow chaos in the Caucasus at the hands of henchmen and corrupt politicians.

Let's imagine a bowling alley where pins are a mass of obstacles on the way to peace. And Azerbaijan hooks a big bowling ball to clear the pins with a clear shot. On the neighboring lane, Armenia has been rolling gutter balls for years, and France comes to the rescue, setting up bumpers for Armenia. Azerbaijan almost wins, but there are a couple of "pins" as if chained to the place by invisible hands; this is split.

Another "pin" went into the hands of Michael Roth, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Bundestag (German Parliament), where he visited Armenia with a delegation, later accused Azerbaijan of "ethnic cleansing" of Armenians who voluntarily left Garabagh and decided not to reintegrate, and promised to impose sanctions on Azerbaijan, calling his current visit "a message of support for Armenia" and warning that "Europe will not tolerate a military threat".

The huge interest of European countries after the restoration of justice in Garabagh by Azerbaijan can be traced back to the failed attempt of the West to unleash war in the Caucasus at the hands of Armenia, where Baku was ahead of the pro-Armenian West and the separatist regime, to the evil of the puppeteers.

Why are the events of the Armenian atrocities in Garabagh not covered by the EU, the European Parliament, and international society? Maybe they have a direct connection? Or do they always pursue personal gain?

Standing on the path of double standards, Michael Roth falsely, corruptly, condemns Azerbaijan in violation of international law without having any evidence to prove it, being in a country with politicians who made decisions of "lethal outcomes" towards their people, Armenians.

Germany is drowning in the migration crisis as well as in the economic one, and the question arises as to why the West needs Armenia. There is a behind-the-scenes struggle between the West and Russia, where Germany is almost cut off from Russian gas and supports Ukraine by supplying it with arms. Armenia, losing the trust of the Russian Federation, hiding away, falling under the West's umbrella, decided to enter the path from which it never left, to pass the European Gate.

"Authoritarian states understand one language, so they should know what the consequences of military action would be if they resorted to it," the German MP said.

In addition, Roth said that the liberalization of the visa regime can also contribute to the rapprochement between Armenia and the EU and, at the same time, stressed the importance of Armenia's ratification of the Istanbul Convention.

Answering the question about possible sanctions against Azerbaijan, Roth clarified that there is not even a draft on them yet, but we can talk about the reduction of cooperation in the energy sphere.

When winter comes, Roth will remember his words, looking at the gas bill. Many countries are dependent on Azerbaijan's gas and electricity imports. After the failed attempt of the EU to impose its policy in the Caucasus and impose sanctions on Azerbaijan, Roth decided to continue, as before, with promises and gifts to visit the delegations of France, Belgium, Canada, etc., which are also in lukewarm relations with Azerbaijan and its strong ally Turkiye.

Chairman Roth boldly, speaking with empty threats and promises to lead sanctions, has behind him an ardent support for the war of Russia-Ukraine, advocating for arming and supplying the latter, i.e. for the war, not for its termination, and, therefore, Germany has found another buyer in the face of the losing country Armenia, which is now playing a double game, advocating illusorily for the signing of a peace treaty and, on the other hand, gaining the support of the West and the international community.

Azerbaijan does not need either the EU or the International Community in the form in which they arrive now, being playing the game of "puppeteer", and long before that, they closed their eyes and mouths to what Armenians and Dashnaks had done since 1918, which was created by the EU in the 1990s. They closed their eyes to the genocide against Azerbaijanis by the hands of Armenians in the First Garabagh War.

Perhaps Michael Roth will manage to sell Armenia a place in the EU and send extra military equipment into Yerevan to carry out "imaginary" threats. Let us not be distracted by corrupt politicians, as their number can only increase in the line of condemnation of Azerbaijan in its just struggle for peace.

We would like to bring to M. Roth's attention that most of the territories patrolled by the EU Mission in Armenia are the territories where Azerbaijanis once lived and from which they were expelled. Continuing the policy of propaganda about the so-called Armenian genocide, "ethnic cleansing", so-called blockade, and "obstruction of humanitarian aid", strengthens the confidence in the corruption of the Chairman of the German Parliament, Mr. Roth, and the ardent desire to create points of EU missions on the borders of Armenia and extend them to the territory of Azerbaijan.
