Azerbaijani MP: What are Armenian Armed Forces doing in Azerbaijani
territories?
France, Strasbourg, June 23 / Trend, A. Maharramli /
What are the Armenian Armed Forces doing in the Azerbaijani
territories? Member of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE Ganira
Pashayeva asked this question in response to the Armenian MPs'
statement during the discussions around the Swedish MP Bjorn von
Sydow's report "The situation in Kosovo and the role of the Council of
Europe."
"Actually, I intended to speak on the Kosovo issue. Unfortunately, due
to the untrue information that the Armenian delegation's
representatives gave to the Assembly and accusations against my
country, I must first clarify some issues. All international
organizations, including the Council of Europe stated that the
settlement of the conflict in Kosovo is not and can not be a precedent
for other conflicts in Europe. Every conflict has different roots,
various reasons and different ways of settlement. Unfortunately, some
members, especially the Armenians, misuses this problem," Pashayeva
said.
She stressed that the two conflicts are very different. "First I must
say that the conflicts in Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh have different
historical roots, different reasons and they are different conflicts
for all other factors. Armenia, except Nagorno-Karabakh, occupied the
seven surrounding areas and this fact is reflected in resolutions and
other documents of the UN, PACE and other international organizations.
In addition, all international organizations and world countries,
except Armenia, recognized Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. The
resolution 1416, adopted by PACE clearly indicates that Armenia
occupied the Azerbaijani territories, it must liberate these
territories and create conditions for a million refugees and IDPs to
return to their native land. However, it not only failed to fulfil the
resolutions of international organizations, including PACE, but also
takes steps to strain the situation," she said.
The Azerbaijani MP also touched upon illegal parliamentary elections
in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Not paying attention to the advices of international organizations,
including the Council of Europe, Armenia organized "elections" in
Azerbaijan's occupied territories in May. Unfortunately, despite the
fact that the CE and other international organizations stated about
the non-recognition of illegal elections, Armenia continues similar
actions now and will continue in the future. Thus, it damages the very
sensitive process of negotiations to resolve the conflict peacefully
and strains the situation, which is so intense. At the same time,
Armenia violates the obligations of the Council of Europe," Pashayeva
stressed.
Ganira Pashayeva brought to the attention of the European MPs that
Armenia constantly fires at the occupied territories, the Azerbaijani
villages.
According to her, the Armenian Armed Forces from positions in
Azerbaijan's occupied territories fires at the Azerbaijani territories
and villages by violating ceasefire. "Since May, the Armenian forces
from territories of Azerbaijan's occupied villages commit purposeful
burning of nearby villages. It has the character of the threat of
civilian population and causes them economic harm. The Armenian MP,
who spoke before me said that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces strained
the situation in the region by violating the ceasefire. This is
untrue.
In fact, Armenia and the Armenian armed forces strain the situation.
Two days ago, and yesterday the Armenian armed forces by violating
ceasefire attacked on the directions of Tartar and Fuzuli regions. The
Azerbaijani armed forces prevented the attack. Unfortunately, the
Armenian side, as always, again provides the untrue information in
order to put Azerbaijan in an unfavourable situation. I want them to
answer one question: what were the Armenian armed forces doing in the
territory, where the incident took place? They can not answer the
question, otherwise truth will come to light . Because this territory,
this area is recognized as Azerbaijan's territory by entire world
community," Pashayeva said.
The MP urged not to accept the observers' position towards Armenia.
"Given all this, the Council of Europe can not remain an observer, and
should take actions against Armenia, who will further strain the
situation, not fulfilling the resolutions of the CE and international
organizations, as well as obligations of the Council of Europe.
Armenia doesn't take any steps to resolve the problem, on the contrary
ir exacerbating it aggravates the situation, " Pashayeva said.
Before the Azerbaijani MP's speech, the Armenian delegation's
representatives Hermina Naghdalyan and Zaruhi Postanyan said that the
Council of Europe adheres to double standard towards Nagorno-Karabakh
compared to the Kosovo problem. They stressed that the organization
must recognize the "elections" in Nagorno-Karabakh, as it recognized
the elections in Kosovo.
