YEREVAN.- The document adopted by European Parliament's foreign
commission on replacing France's mandate OSCE MG by that of EU is
not Union's official viewpoint, head of Armenia's delegation to PACE
Naira Zohrabyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to her this initiative is a result of the efforts of some
pro-Azerbaijan deputies.
"The EU officials, including the High Representative of the Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton and the European
Commissioner for enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan
Fule, have announced many times that they are not going to replace
the French mandate with the EU mandate and that they support the
current format of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement," Naira
Zohrabyan said.
The Armenian MP said the document is "a child" of Azerbaijani lobby.
She once again reminded of the position of the Armenian side - the
change of the mandate is unacceptable.
According to Zohrabyan, the most alarming is Azerbaijan's active
lobbying in the parliaments of different countries.
"Azerbaijan buys deputies and they start an active propaganda in
favor of Baku. Armenia is just a passive observer of the ongoing
processes in favor of Azerbaijan," she said underscoring necessity
for Armenia to use all its resources including the powerful Diaspora
to resist such initiatives.
The European Parliament on Foreign Affairs adopted a document on
Armenia envisaging to replace France's mandate with EU's in OSCE
Minsk Group.
