    EU-ARMENIA PCC CONDEMNS THE DECISION OF THE PRESIDENT OF AZERBAIJAN

    The Final conclusion adopted at the regular 13th session of the
    EU-Armenia PCC that took place on November 28-29 in Brussels is quite
    positive. In comparison with the previous similar PCC statements
    concerning the formulations regarding the regulations of the Karabakh
    conflict and Turkish-Armenian relations were more restricted and
    specified and first time contained reference to the Armenian Genocide.

    Besides that, there are reservations regarding the Stepanakert airport
    and Ramil Safarov's case.

    It was mentioned by the multi-party delegation members headed by the
    Committee Co-chair, NA RPA fraction member Samvel Farmanyan while
    briefing the Brussels session results at the session of 3 December. As
    the negotiators evaluate, these positive reservations are the result
    of the organized work of the Armenian members of the Committee
    regardless the political views of the NA MP's and contradicting
    positions regarding the internal life, as well as certain success in
    overcoming the Azerbaijani lobbyist efforts.

    The PCC in its statement and recommendations regarding regional
    stability issues particularly 'condemns the decision of the President
    of Azerbaijan, which granted a pardon by the EU member country
    courts to the convicted murderer Ramil Safarov, expresses its deep
    concern over his subsequent glorification after his extradition to
    Azerbaijan; regards this gesture as not only contrary to the spirit
    of international law but as contributing to further tensions in the
    region, exacerbating feelings of injustice; condemns any provocation
    that would add further tension to an already tense and fragile
    situation'.

    It is also mentioned that the Committee 'is deeply concerned that such
    acts could jeopardize reconciliation attempts and further undermine the
    future development of peaceful people-to-people contact in the region,
    which is a significant way to achieve lasting and sustainable peace.

    The Committee 'welcomes all statements contributing to the peaceful
    settlement of the conflict and reminds that regarding the planned
    opening of an airport in Nagorno-Karabakh, the OSCE Minsk Group
    Co-Chairs have received renewed assurances from all sides that,
    in accordance with international law, they reject any threat or use
    of force against civil aircraft and will refrain from politicizing
    the issue'.
