    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RESOLUTION CONTRADICTS EU STANCE: EDWARD NALBANDYAN

    Tert.am

    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan is dissatisfied with
    the 2216 non-binding resolution adopted at the European Parliament
    on Thursday.

    According to Nalbandyan it runs counter to the EU stance.

    "The provisions of that report about the Karabakh conflict are in line
    neither with the Madrid Principles nor with the Moscow declaration ...

    There is an apparent chaos of formulations," Nalbandyan, said at a
    press conference today.

    At the same time he recalled that the EU made its approach public
    in December 2009 in Athens. "That approach is fully in line with
    Armenia's approach," said Nalbandyan.

    The document adopted by the European Parliament clarifies the EU's role
    in tackling the frozen conflicts in the South Caucasus, particularly
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    "Members of the European Parliament welcome the dynamic process
    of the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations, but call on the sides to
    intensify the talks to achieve peaceful settlement for the conflict,"
    proposed the EP.

    Further it says that the European Parliament calls on making the
    negotiation process more active and quit all the actions that are
    aimed at preserving the status quo established by force and not in
    line with international law - something not beneficial for Armenia.

    Particularly, the European Parliament requires that the "Armenian
    troops be pulled out of the Azerbaijani occupied territories to let
    those displaced to return to their homes."

    Further the European Parliament says it "insists on Armenian forces
    to withdraw from all occupied Azerbaijani territories adjacent to
    Nagorno Karabakh."

    What the EP suggests is giving Nagorno Karabakh a temporary status
    unless its final status becomes clear which will enable the sides to
    ensure during that transitional period the peaceful coexistence and
    cooperation of Armenian and Azerbaijani people.
