The Council of Europe Ministerial Committee will consider on 24 May a
written inquiry by an Azerbaijani parliamentary representative to the
PACE, MP Rafael Huseynov, on the level of permanent representatives.
The document titled "New plans of occupation by belligerent Armenia
posing serious threats to stability and development in the South
Caucasus" was included in the draft agenda of the 965th meeting of
the CE Ministerial Committee to be held in Strasbourg on 24 May.
The discussions rank as the third in the initial agenda of the
gathering.
The document underlines that by intensifying its hostilities
during recent days the Republic of Armenia, shown in Assembly
resolution (1416 (2005) as an occupying state conducting ethnic
cleansing against the Azerbaijanis, is putting forward its new
aggressive plans. Armenia has occupied 7 adjacent districts around
Nagorno-Karabakh and uses these territories as a buffer zone between
the other territories of Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh. However,
despite the existing cease-fire in recent days, the armed forces of
Armenia are continuously threatening hostilities on the front line
bordering the positions of Azerbaijan, which is located hundreds
of kilometres from Nagorno-Karabakh. These attacks, accompanied by
numerous human losses among the civilian population and the military
contingent of Azerbaijan, as well as with great material losses and
destruction inflicted on the country, openly demonstrate the purposes
of Armenia to occupy some other territories of Azerbaijan.
On the other hand, Armenia has escalated its efforts to pursue its
plots vis-a-vis Azerbaijan. Thus, the previously existing intentions of
Armenia to seize the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan of Azerbaijan
are now openly being manifested. Armenia has set up appropriate
military and intelligent structures in this regard, a cease-fire regime
is repeatedly being violated in the front line areas almost on a daily
basis, groundless misinformation is being spread by them concerning
the alleged destruction of some old graves in Nakhchivan with the
intention to substantiate by false means their territorial claims and,
moreover, a new wave of ideological war has been launched by Yerevan.
Rafael Huseynov asked the Committee of Ministers "In the present
situation when Armenia, officially considered to be an occupier by the
Assembly, putting forward manifestly its new occupying intentions and
with this purpose in mind undertaking concrete steps, what discussions
can the Committee of Ministers conduct within its competences and
what effective measures can it take in order to stop the aggressor".
