BRASILIA (Diario ARMENIA).- In early June, the Azeri media reported
that Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov met with a
Brazilian delegation led by Nelson Pellegrino and Claudio Cajado,
both Federal Deputies of Brazil.
Professor James Onnig Tamdjian, columnist of Portal Estacão Armenia, a
website of the Brazilian-Armenian community, explained that Pellegrino
and Cajado, were both Turkish lobbyists. Nelson Pellegrino is a member
of the ruling Partido dos Trabalhadores, while Claudio Cajado is member
of the opposing party Democratas. "It's strange how both parties are
rivals but they act together in this topic", added Tamdjian.
The two Brazilian deputies pledged to submit an application to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs and National Defense, in which Brazil
would support Azerbaijan and demand the withdrawal of Armenian
troops from various regions of Nagorno Karabakh. The Requirement
285, filed on June 5, demanded that "this Commission approve and
forward a motion to the Security Council of the United Nations (UNSC)
for the promotion and implementation of Resolutions 822 (1993), 853
(1993), 874 (1993), 884 (1993) demanding withdrawal of all Armenian
armed forces from Azerbaijan's territory and immediate return of the
displaced population".
Portal Estacão Armenia organized an awareness campaign, urging people
to send their complaints to the two politicians involved in the Azeri
lobby. Representatives of the Brazilian-Armenian community and Armenian
Ambassador Ashot Yeghiazaryan, also sent letters of protest.
Requirement 285 was eventually dropped "at request of the author",
according to official information from the Brazilian Chamber of
Deputies. The Azeri application was also removed from the agenda of
Committee on Foreign Relations, although according to Tamdjian, there
are chances that the application could be introduced again on July 10.
