The British Petroleum appears to be a key factor in the Armenia-UK
political dialogue, according to Naira Zohrabyan, the head of the
National Assembly's Standing Committee on European Integration.
At a meeting with Josephine Gold, a person in charge for the South
Caucasus affairs at the UK Foreign Office, Zohrabyan noted with regret
that 50% of Azerbaijan's foreign investments go to Great Britain. She
expressed hope, however, the fact would not affect the country's
policies in the region.
She further referred to the inter-parliamentary ties within
international organizations, considering the collaboration
non-effective.
Zohrabyan referred to The Guardian's recent article unveiling a deal
between Conservative MP Mark Field and a pro-Azerbaijani lobby group.
Zohrabyan said she had no doubt that the British lawmaker gets direct
funding from Azerbaijan to conduct a pro-Azerbaijani propaganda in the
European Union. She expressed hope that the political forces in the
British Parliament would work more consistently in future to reveal
such cases and prevent their repetition.
The parties further discussed regional issues.
