Czech Foreign Ministry has disowned the parliament's resolution on
Khojaly incidents in 1992, Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe
(FAAE) told ArmInfo. Earlier FAAE sent a letter to the Czech Foreign
Ministry demanding explanations regarding the Czech Parliament's
Resolution on the so-called "Khojaly Genocide".
The Ministry replied soon after. In particular, the official letter of
the Ministry reads that the Resolution No.219 adopted by the Committee
for Foreign Relations of Seima has no impact on the foreign policy
of the Czech Republic on the Karabakh conflict. The Czech Republic
will further contribute to the efforts of the world community and
the OSCE MG in resolution of the conflict. The Czech Republic is
for development of good relations with Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and
Azerbaijan, the Czech Foreign Ministry's letter reads.
The document was passed on February 7. It respects "the memory for the
victims of the tragedy and extends condolences to the Azerbaijani
people." The Committee condemns 'ethnic purges of the peaceful
population' and supports 'sovereignty and territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan, including Nagorno Karabakh.' In this context, in an
official statement the Czech Foreign Ministry expressed displeasure
with the information on adoption of such resolution by the Czech
Parliament's Committee.
