Member of Parliament Naira Zohrabyan, Chairperson of the NA Standing
Committee of European Integration, member of the Armenian delegations
to PACE and Euronest, addressed a letter to the president of the
European Parliament Martin Schulz, PACE Chairman Jean-Claude Mignon
and Euronest PA co-chair Kristian Vigenin.
In her letter, Mrs. Zohrabyan states that the whole civilized world
and the European community are shocked by the outrageous deal between
Hungary and Azerbaijan when NATO and EU member Hungary betrayed
European values and justice for specific interests. Many international
structures have recently reacted to this event but the reactions were
not always adequate to the monstrous deal. There were even statements
calling both sides, totalitarian Azerbaijan and Armenia equally,
to exercise restraint, which is perplexing and unacceptable. As
a member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE and Euronest, I
would like to draw your attention to the outrageous fact of greeting
ceremony for Safarov at the airport attended by the members of the
Azerbaijani delegations to PACE and Euronest. This action organized by
Azerbaijan is a message to Europe making it clear that the opinion of
the European structures where Azerbaijan is represented means nothing,
writes Mrs. Zohrabyan.
She agrees with CoE Secretary General Jagland's assessment who said
that "this is not the Europe we want for our generations". Zohrabyan
stressed that the European values are not a doormat for anyone to
clear their feet on. None of the European family members will be
guaranteed from becoming the target of such an outrageous deal unless
we undertake steps and make adequate evaluations,
Naira Zohrabyan extends hope that this issue will be publicly discussed
in the PACE, the European Parliament and Euronest.
