"International institutions need to shift from words to actions and
punish Azerbaijan by all international laws"
November 24 2014
NA MP Margarit Yesayan is convinced Recently, we learned from the PACE
website that years ago PACE adopted a resolution condemning Azerbaijan
for granting Ramil Safarov a pardon. The Standing Committee of
Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE) condemns Azerbaijan
for using one of the conventions of the Council of Europe has released
convicted Ramil Safarov immediately after extradition. The resolution
compiled based on the report of UK MP Christopher Chope adopted after
the discussions held in Brussels reads that the use of Article 12 of
Convention on the "Transfer of Sentenced Persons" for the Azerbajani
officer Ramil Safarov's case is an "infringement of bona fide
principles and the rule of law in international relations." The RA NA
MP, head of Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of La
Francophonie, Margarit Yesayan, is sure that this conviction is late,
but an important fact, which perhaps can be a call for sobriety for
different international organizations. "If this statement, this
conviction were in time, maybe Azerbaijan would finally have started
being accountable for its policy. Destruction of the helicopter
performing a training flight obviously is contrary to all
international norms, and, naturally, the international institutions
are obligated to give an assessment. First of all, to defend their
credibility and reputation. Reactions, condemnations and expressing
concerns were not late, but they are very much the same to nothing
saying statements made until now. Our European friends are always
limited to expressing concerns only. And this very fact, enables
Azerbaijan to be guided by the principle of absolute impunity,
violations of universal and international norms. Azerbaijan does not
fit into the universal human values system. It is more convenient for
a country where the human rights and the right to self-determination
of the nation have no value. And when someone puts itself beyond
generally accepted norms, it makes no more sense to speak to it with a
civilized vocabulary and diplomatic nuances. It is high time for the
international organizations to condemn not in words but in actions,
the subject matter is not only the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, but
the mandate and influential power of the same EU, PACE, OSCE, State
Department and the Minsk Group. With its inhuman behavior and trade of
corpse, Azerbaijan sends a challenge to everyone and in response, it
receives a parity and nothing saying calls and exhortations, hence,
also an opportunity to start a war. And the experienced, visionary and
prudent officials of international organizations cannot but understand
it." To the question of "Aravot" whether the behavior of the
Azerbaijani side to the representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
Anjey Kasprishik may become an opportunity for the international
structures assess the situation more sober, as it was also a slap on
the OSCE and Minsk Group, Margarit Yesayan said, "Obviously, what
happened is the result of a bad manner, our neighbors once again did
not hide their true face, and yes, I agree that this move was a slap
on the same international community, therefore, I reiterate my belief
that this should be given an adequate response by the structures
representing the same community". Note that the Azerbaijani side had
not allowed the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
Anjey Kasprishik to visit the place of falling of Karabakh helicopter
downed by Azerbaijan. According to the MP, the behavior of the
Armenian side completely fits in the framework of international norms,
and also followed by its assessment, the PACE and OSCE and other
structures should demonstrate an equivalent counteraction to
Azerbaijan, and first of all it was to be done by the CSTO, to which
Armenia is a member (whereas Nikolay Bordyuzha's statement was as
neutral as the US State Department's), and also it was to be done the
strategic partner Russian Foreign Ministry. How long can the Parties
be called for peace, persistently failing to notice that only one side
is search for war by crossing out the peace, searching openly and
being armed daily, and everyone knows and sees that this side is
Azerbaijan. The history of all terrorist groupings shows that when you
arm today, tomorrow the weapon will be directed against you.
Forgetting the law of the boomerang is the most dangerous for
political and public figures. The history gives lessons and we should
not forget these lessons. Margaret Yesayan did not share our
observation that the matter is also the results of dereliction of
duties of foreign policy of Armenia. the MP opines, "The entities
responsible for foreign policy of Armenia are doing everything
possible to regulate the situation without resumption of war and
without new victims. Artsakh problem should be resolved exclusively
peacefully. Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, in these years, have done
everything and still will do to solve the problem through negotiations
and only through peace. All those who fume about swagger with war
calls and the statements of giving an equivalent response to
this-or-that move by Azerbaijanis should ultimately realize that
swaggering is unsubstantiated for receiving success in foreign policy
and pro-Armenia solution of the Karabakh conflict." Margarit Yesayan
cannot talk about non-government forces with the same praising. "None
of them said anything during these days, no call was made to the same
international structures and Azerbaijan. This also speaks of
inadequate behavior of these forces, they do not realize that the
homeland is one and the only one, and it does not matter at all
whether you are a government or non-government."
