BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 18. As for Borrell, I think that if he had lived a few decades earlier, he would have been a good foreign minister for dictator Franco, said President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Dmitry Kiselev, Director General of the “Rossiya Segodnya” International News Agency, in response to a question about Borrell's attacks on Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
"By the way, it was mentioned that I have neglected Borrell. I would like to send him a couple more signals in conclusion. Although in one of my speeches at COP, I even quoted Borrell - he said that Europe is a blooming garden and everything else is a jungle. I said that if we are a jungle, stay away from us. As for Borrell, I think that if he had lived a few decades earlier, he would have been a good foreign minister for dictator Franco. He is just unlucky to live in a different time," President Ilham Aliyev said.
