Statement of head of RA NA ARF fraction Armen Rustamyan PACE
Monitoring delegation had organized hearings on so-called "frozen
conflicts". Naturally, a discussion went around NKR conflict as well.
Such discussions are expected to take place in future as well.
The main issue is to clarify the basic approaches of our official and
parliamentarian diplomacy during those discussions, when any foreign
organization is trying to intervene in NKR conflist regulation.
Unfortunately, none of such clarifications have been made and a
coordinated actions are not taken towards this issue.
This issue is more than genuine today, when Armenia has taken up
the presidency of EU Ministers' Council. I believe that EU can have
constructive and, typical to it's character integration in this issue
in case of providing the following 3 principles.
First, EU must recognize OSCE MG as the only mediator with
international mandate to regulate the conflict and it must be done
not just by words but with actions also. That's not always so and
we should not hesitate to give them all the facts concerning those
events to this organization.
Second, Competent and legal representatives of NKR must be present
at any discussion that is concerning NLR conflict regulation. There
are many preliminary examples in EU.
Third, EU must provide with priority of values which it has declared
itself, especially, concerning forces, and exclusion of use of force
under threat and issues concerning human rights and freedom.
Especially, NKR not having legal status, does not mean ignorance of
people's rights and freedom living there and avoidance of use of EU
norms and standards.
Lastly, the best support of EU will be reconfirming the agreement of
Bishkek of ceasefire signed in 1994 and signing a new non-striking
agreement.
I hope that Armenia will use its unique possibility of presidency to
have more constructive disposition in NKR conflict resolution.
