A document condemning the ceasefire violations along the line of
contact between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijani Armed Forces is put
into circulation in the Council of Europe (CoE). The written document
co-authored by the Armenian delegates to the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) condemns the instances of ceasefire
violation by Azerbaijan and calls on Azerbaijan to refrain from the
use of force.
It is already two days, Zaruhi Postanjyan, a member of the Armenian
delegation, has been urging PACE delegates to support the move and
sign the document which will be posted on the CoE website after
receiving at least 20 signatures and turning into a declaration.
Talking to A1+, Zaruhi Postanjyan said after the publication of the
report on Azerbaijan's 'caviar diplomacy' Europeans became much more
cautious in issues concerning Armenian-Azerbaijani relations.
She says the favourable situation allows the Armenian delegates to
remind once more that the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)
is a separate country and was created when Azerbaijan, Georgia and
Armenia, in accordance with international law, became independent
after the fall of the Soviet Union.
The Armenian delegate also says it is necessary to underline that
Artsakh is a country that adheres to democratic values, has legitimate
authorities and Constitution.
Zaruhi Postanjyan says the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh should
officially invite CoE representatives to observe the presidential
elections set for July 19 though Europeans did not answer Karabakh's
invitation to monitor the parliamentary elections.
She thinks that Armenia and Karabakh should use their levers for
Karabakh to have its representative in the Council of Europe 'as part
of a democratic country and a state which was formed in the same way
as Azerbaijan.'
