    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT SENDS MISSION TO OLD JUGHA

    STRASBOURG, APRIL 7, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. At the April 6
    conference the Chairman of the European Parliament and Chairmen of the
    paliament's political groups officially approved the decision to send
    a mission to Old Jugha (Nakhichevan) for the purpose of examining the
    destructions committed by Azeris on the Old Jugha Armenian cemetery.

    As Noyan Tapan was informed from the ARF Dashnaktsutiun European
    Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy, by the decision adopted
    unanimously the European Parliament's and its groups' Chairmen
    preferred to entrust this mission to the EU-Armenia Parliamentary
    Cooperation Commission though they had planned in advance to form a
    delegation specially for this purpose. In all probability, the
    delegation that will include 10 parliamentarians - members of the
    EU-Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation Commission, will be in Armenia on
    April 17-21, before leaving for Jugha. Nevertheless, for entering
    Azerbaijan the mission should in advance get Baku's permission, which
    however, as the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy
    emphasizes, is responsible for the very barbarities. To recap, on
    February 16, the European Parliament with a prevailing majority of
    votes adoted a resolution which condemns the Azeris' vandalism on the
    Old Jugha Armenian cemetery. In the resolution the European Parliament
    strictly condemned the destruction of the Jugha cemetery and demanded
    that "Azerbaijan permit to carry out missions aimed at study and
    preservation of the historic and especially Armenian heritage in this
    territory". The resolution also demands from Azerbaijan to allow the
    European Parliament's delegation to visit the historical locality of
    Jugha. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan continues its barbarity on the
    medieval Armenian cemetery, the evidence of which is the fact that
    after destroying the cross-stones and grave-stones the Azerbaijani
    Armed Forces turned the Old Jugha cemetery into a range.
