"As it is known, the decisions of the UN Security Council are binding
by International Law.
It is not understandable why this 20-year-old existing requirement
for the withdrawal of Armenian soldiers is still not implemented.
Moreover, the peace negotiations initiated by the OSCE are repeatedly
stalled," said Corina Cretu, MEP while replying to a survey on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh from The European
Azerbaijan Society (TEAS).
TEAS told APA that MEP said the Armenian people must live within their
legitimate boundaries of International Law: "This regards above all
the refugees who had to leave their home towns and wait for return
till today. The territory of Azerbaijan must be fully restored. This
entitlement is rightfully claimed by Azerbaijan.
The European Union Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule had in a
speech on the beginning of May in Baku stated the interest of the EU
to further strengthens the relationship with Azerbaijan, in addition
to the Eastern Partnership. The Azerbaijani- European cooperation
has very promising future perspectives that should be courageously
used by both sides. For this to happen more stability and security
in the Southern Caucasus is needed. Thus a permanent solution for
the Nagorno-Karabakh question is needed.
The European interest is a peaceful and secure Southern Caucasus
region, which converges with the structures of the European Union.
Therefore the accession treaties are being negotiated. Stefan Fule
said in Baku that the Eastern Partnership should strengthen the ties
between the Azerbaijani people and the European peoples. A stable
political environment is a necessary condition for this. However,
the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh produces exactly the opposite. It
brings a high escalation potential. In this sense the EU must perceive
its role in the peace negotiations stronger than before."
