The EU allocated €200 million to Azerbaijan in 2025.

Omissions

• The €200 million is described in the sources as an 'up to' offer of Global Gateway grants forming part of an EU-Azerbaijan connectivity partnership (aimed at unlocking €2 billion in investments), not as a completed budget allocation or disbursement.
• The sources found place the announcement in July 2026 (von der Leyen's Baku visit / EU-South Caucasus connectivity package); the MEP's stated reference year of 2025 could not be confirmed for this figure.
• The claim's second figure — €46 million for the Comoros — could not be verified; the only EU-Comoros agreements located totalled €28.9 million (October 2023).
• Only secondary sources (Reuters, TVP World) directly cite the €200 million figure for Azerbaijan; the European Commission announcement found relates to a separate €20 million 'peace dividends' allocation for Armenia and Azerbaijan.
