Member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Armen Rustamyan
said that Armenia's insufficient efforts against appointment of Evgeni
Kirilov as a rapporteur for the South Caucasus served as first reason
for the adoption of Resolution on the South Caucasus by the European
Parliament.
"I was aware of the Resolution's text and addressed a letter to the
chairman of the socialists' group in the European Parliament. Due to
our efforts, we managed to withdraw some negative provisions from it.
However, we see that the Resolution anyway contains paragraphs,
which distort the reality with respect to the Karabakh conflict,"
Rustamyan told a joint press conference with Vice-Speaker of the
Armenian parliament Samvel Nikoyan.
According to him, Armenia should form a delegation to present Armenia's
stance concerning the Resolution to the European Parliament.
Rustamyan said that it would have been possible to prevent the
Resolution's adoption, if enough efforts were exerted.
In his turn, Samvel Nikoyan noted that Armenia must do its
utmost to prevent the Karabakh problem's discussion in various
inter-parliamentary formats. "Representatives of these structures
are basically unaware of the NKR problem, while Azerbaijan can play
on heartstrings of such audiences," he stressed.
