Europe supports a fair solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
on the basis of agreed principles, member of European Parliament,
vice-president of Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe,
Ramona Manescu answering the question of the European Azerbaijan
Society about Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
According to the MP, for implementing social and economic potential,
first of all, the security of the region's countries should be ensured
and they should live in peace with their neighbors.
She stressed that strong support is urgently needed in order to create
sustainable cooperation, to develop the region and to settle the
conflict peacefully and stop military intervention and any violence
against the conflicting parties.
"As a member of the European Parliament and vice-president of Alliance
of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, I believe that it is necessary
to respect Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well
as the civil right of IDPs to return their lands and their personal
safety. I expect from both the Armenian and Azerbaijani leadership
that first of all, understanding what is important for their citizens
would help them reach an agreement to stop the conflict and ensure
well-being and prosperity for their nations," she said.
The EU supports efforts on international mediation through the OSCE
Minsk Group and expresses its readiness to play its role in peaceful
solution of the conflict, Manescu noted.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
