Baku-APA. "Mentioning trade, I would like to express our concern on
some disappointing facts regarding distorted trade practices, which we
discovered in the past. It came to our attention that goods produced
by Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and other occupied
territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan have been allowed to enter
the EU market under various fraudulent labels in contradiction to the
rules of origin and the commitments undertaken by Armenia in the World
Trade Organization agreements".
APA reports quoting press service of Minister of Foreign Affairs that
Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Azerbaijan said at the Foreign Minister's meeting of EU Member States
and Eastern Partnership countries.
"This is a clear case of violation by Armenia of its WTO obligations.
When acceding to WTO, Armenia reaffirmed that the terms and conditions
of its WTO membership, as well as the obligations of the Republic of
Armenia under the WTO Agreements and the provisions of those
Agreements, should only apply to the territory of the Republic of
Armenia as recognized by the United Nations. Therefore, recalling the
recent regulatory legal framework adopted in respect to other similar
cases in Eastern Partnership region, we call upon our European
partners to undertake all measures to prevent such distortive steps by
the Armenian side", - the minister said.
