Germany supports UN resolutions on Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
LENGTH: 274 words
Germany supports UN`s four resolutions on the Armenia-Azerbaijan
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, German MP, member of the Foreign Affairs
Committee Hartwig Fischer has said, according to the European
Azerbaijan Society (TEAS).
The occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia violates international
law as was stated on multiple occasions by the UN Security Council.
"The proclamation of the 'Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh' has never been
accepted by the International Community. Every state has the right to
restore its territorial integrity. Some 20% of Azerbaijani territory
has been occupied by the Armenian military forces. The people who have
been driven out of those territories or had to flee during the
military confrontations have the right to return to their homeland,"
Fischer said.
The German MP noted that the resettlement of the conflict between
Azerbaijan and Armenia has to be seen in the light of the regional
context.
"If the ceasefire between the countries does not turn into real peace,
the entire security and stability of the South Caucasus are under
threat. The highest priority lies in the implementation of the
resolutions of the UN Security Council. Therefore Armenia has to make
the first step and has to withdraw its Armed Forces from the occupied
territories," Fischer said.
According to Fischer, recently, the conflict was aggravated by the
attempts to open the Khojaly airport for international air traffic.
"Armenia makes attempts to support its claims over Nagorno-Karabakh by
these actions which have rightfully been condemned as a threat to the
peace process by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe,"
he added.
