"Some reports discussed at Euronest session included proposals by
Azerbaijani, Georgian and a number of European parliamentarians that
ran counter to our interests. At the meeting of the EPP faction held
before the Euronest session, an agreement was reached between the
sides on withdrawing their proposals that ran counter to Armenia's
interests," head of the Armenian delegation to Euronest Artak Zakaryan
told reporters in Yerevan when presenting the details of the Euronest
Parliamentary Assembly session held in Brussels on May 27-29.
According to him, at the last moment, Azerbaijani delegates placed on
the agenda a draft resolution on the limitation of Armenia's water
resources, which was unexpected to the Armenian delegation. Artak
Zakaryan added that the resolution included terms like "occupant"
and "occupation."
"We spoke against the discussion of that issue because Azerbaijan uses
Euronest PA as a platform of anti-Armenian propaganda. We managed to
withdraw it from the agenda," said the parliamentarian.
An agreement was reached to hold the next plenary session of Euronest
in Armenia next autumn.
"Azerbaijan tries to represent any discussion in committees and any
resolution on Karabakh conflict in a distorted way," said chairperson
of the Euronest Committee on Political Affairs Naira Zohrabyan,
adding that for the present, Euronest opposes Azerbaijan's attempts
to misrepresent the reality.
"To the credit of our delegation and a number of members of the
European Parliament, we achieved positive results," Ms Zohrabyan
concluded.
