The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a great hindrance for the European
Neighborhood Policy in the Southern Caucasus, the Member of the
European Parliament (Romania), member of the Group of the Progressive
Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament
Catalin-Sorin Ivan told when answering to a survey of The European
Azerbaijan Society (TEAS).
According to him, even in the first Resolution adopted on
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh by the UN Security
Council on April 30th, 1993 the withdrawal of the Armenian army from
the occupied Azerbaijani territories was demanded.
The following Resolutions have always renewed this request. Therefore,
the first step, which is the withdrawal of the army, must come from
Armenia.
"The IDPs have the right to return to their homeland. The UN
Resolutions speak a clear language: Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven
occupied regions belong to Azerbaijan. As soon as the Resolutions
are implemented, the IDPs can return," the MP said.
The Member of the European Parliament said that the Eastern Partnership
can only function if the partner states are peaceful and stable with
each other.
"Also the Armenians should have an interest in ending the policy of
occupation as soon as possible. Mediators are necessary in every
conflict, although the fundamental willingness of the conflicting
parties themselves to negotiate is the most important thing. Armenia
and Azerbaijan are both members of the OSCE, together with the Minsk
Group they have deployed a board for the resolution of the dispute
between the two states. Also the European Union is represented by a
special representative in the Southern Caucasus. The most important
stimulus for new peace negotiations would be Armenia announcing
to withdrawal from the occupied areas," the Member of the European
Parliament said.
