The High Representative for Security and Foreign Policy of the European Union (EU) Commission, Josep Borrell, described Europe as a “garden” and the rest of the world as a “jungle” in Bruges, Belgium. Borrel was also at the head of those who opposed the holding of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in Azerbaijan with unfounded accusations.
Former Turkish ambassador to our country, Turkish representative of the Public Union for Support of Social Development “IMZA” Hulusi Sword on the topic Oku.Azcommented on
The political scientist stated that the EU does not like to be told the truth. He also condemned Borrell’s assessment of Europe as a “garden” and the rest of the countries as a “jungle.” With this statement, Hulusi Kılıç emphasized that Borrell shows contempt for the rest of the world outside the EU.
“President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev In his speech at the opening ceremony of the COP29 Leaders Summit on November 12, he accused the Netherlands and France of being responsible for environmental pollution in the Caribbean and Pacific overseas regions. The president also highlighted that 13 people were killed, 160 injured and 1,700 people were arrested as a result of the Macron regime’s use of force to suppress legal Kanak protests in New Caledonia. On the other hand, 38 people were arrested during protests on the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. However, Borrel, who is the head of the European Union and its foreign policy, has remained silent and turned a blind eye to all these events. The hypocrisy that worries Borrel is that President Ilham Aliyev rightly points out the illegal activities of these countries and evaluates the silence of the EU in the face of what is happening. His defense of France and the Netherlands means he is complicit in the crime. We expected Macron and Borrell to attend COP29 and listen to the problems of the island states. Borrel heads the EU’s foreign policy. Due to their position, they should make a statement about their lack of respect and lack of attendance at the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Azerbaijan. He must answer for the boycott and defamation in Europe after the decision to hold COP29 in Azerbaijan,” the former ambassador stressed.
Hulusi Kılıç emphasized that the countries that did not participate in COP29 and wanted to block it are responsible for climate change and natural disasters in the world:
“The Earth is our common home. Pollution of the seas and oceans, global warming, rising water levels, floods, forest fires, air pollution and food security are among the most important problems we face. threaten the future of humanity. Baku seeks solutions To these problems, Joseph Borrel, Macron and COP29-Switzerland, which does not participate, must know that this is not a political scenario. The UN Secretary General, more than 75 thousand representatives. of the world, I also want to say that. The main reason for the problems related to climate pollution in the world is that they are industrialization. They should share their views with us. I believe that the countries that do not participate here are guilty. planted thousands of trees under the motto “Green World”. At the same time, Azerbaijan has extended a helping hand to these countries during its presidency of the Non-Aligned Movement. In this sense, it is very important that these states are on the COP29 agenda. Furthermore, Azerbaijan has included helping these countries on the issue of climate change on its agenda and has done its part. COP29 is the most effective climate conference to date. This issue was highly appreciated by the participating countries. In the context of all that has been said, the holding of the COP29 Conference in Baku demonstrates the strength of Azerbaijan at the international level and strengthens its position,” the political scientist concluded.
