EUFOA: DOWNING OF THE ARMENIAN HELICOPTER NULLIFIES AZERBAIJAN'S COMMITMENTS
10:32, 14 Nov 2014
Nagorno-Karabakh helicopter went down in flames on November 12,
killing all three crew members, after Azerbaijani forces claimed it
was violating their airspace and shot it.
Azerbaijan has awarded the servicemen who downed the helicopter with
a third degree medal for "distinguished military service."
"We condemn the new outbreak of violation. We state that as always,
it is the Azerbaijani authorities that are responsible for it
again. This provocation nullifies Azerbaijan's commitments. We hoped
Baku would adopt a more rational and constructive behaviour after
Armenia-Azerbaijan meeting on 27 October in Paris. Breaking the
promise to France only a few days ago, the Azerbaijani leadership
showed that it's not a reliable partner in the region," said Mr
Francois Rochebloine, French MP and Member of EuFoA's Europe-Armenia
Advisory Council.
"It is clear to all international organisations that the Azerbaijani
administration established a totalitarian regime based on fear, lies
and repression. Therefore, it also tries to neutralise any attempt of
freedom and rule of law in the region, attempting in vain to threaten
also the population of Nagorno Karabakh and their strong commitment to
democracy and fundamental rights by shooting down unarmed helicopters,
or murdering civilians as it was the case a few weeks ago. Last but
not least I would like to pass my deepest condolences to the families
of the helicopter crew," added EuFoA Director Mr Eduardo Lorenzo Ochoa.
International organisations and Members of the European Parliament
have also expressed their worries.
