"Senseless victims feed hate and instability" in Caucasus, says EU envoySeptember 29, 2022 - 12:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the Crisis in Georgia Toivo Klaar has said that "the senseless victims" of the recent escalation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani "feed hate and instability". "Today there were again reports of three [Armenian] soldiers killed and one [Azerbaijani] wounded. These and many other senseless victims feed hate and instability. Security is only truly possible if borders are respected and troops don’t face each other at close distances. Peace cannot be forced," Klaar said on Wednesday, September 28. The envoy's comments came after three Armenian servicemen were killed in Azerbaijan’s latest ceasefire violation on Wednesday.
