The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has deplored the EU-Armenia-US joint conference scheduled for 5 April, warning that it will create “new dividing lines” in the South Caucasus.

"Such an open pro-Armenian public manifestation by Washington and Brussels might create a dangerous illusion in Armenia that the EU and US are going to support Armenia in its possible renewed provocations against Azerbaijan," Aykhan Hajizada, Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry spokesman, said in a statement on Wednesday.

He claimed that the EU and US will share responsibility for "any possible destabilizing action" by Armenia.

"We once again call upon all sides to refrain from steps that are counterproductive to the peace efforts and can trigger new waves of escalation and tension in the region when there is a unique window of opportunity to reach lasting peace, stability, and security based upon fundamental norms and principles of international law," reads the statement.
