"LET'S CALL THE THINGS BY THEIR NAMES - THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE WAS A GENOCIDE." EU DEPUTY
March 18 2015
"Let's call the things by their names - the Armenian Genocide was
a genocide," such an observation was made today by member of the EU
Parliament from the Czech Republic JaromÃr Å tÄ~[tina at the Euronest
PA plenary session hosted in Yerevan. During the discussion of the
draft report on "Infrastructural Cooperation between the EU and the
Eastern Partnership Countries: road, rail and air transport joint
projects," co-rapporteur Mher Shahgeldyan said that the report was
of great importance in the globalized world. "Communications is the
sector that are the priority for ensuring development. There were a few
items in the report that are principles: communication liberalization,
elimination of restrictions and blockades, and people's security.
Unfortunately, many people in the Eastern Partnership countries die
due to road accidents. One more important principle is the free air
philosophy in our country too. I emphasize the need for reforms in our
country. Mher Shahgeldyan urges upon the items fixed in the report
not to remain on the paper, but to make significant steps in this
direction. It was welcomed by the delegates. The NA MP Hrant Bagratyan
said, "We must note two factors: it is time that the economic and
political matter in Europe are not mixed up together. Too often, the
political debates end with the economic blockade. We must work in this
direction. Europe is increasingly appearing in the framework of global
economy. A statistics problem occurs for the small countries. People
live in one country, but are engaged in the production or work in
another country. It causes problems."
ARF deputy Artsvik Minasyan said, "The EU should apply pretty much
efforts towards elimination of closed borders in this region. Over
25 years, Turkey and Azerbaijan are applying the issue of the closed
border against Armenia. Without having an access to the sea, today,
Georgia becomes the only border for Armenia to Europe. We urge to
make efforts and put pressure on Turkey to open the border without
preconditions. We are talking about 35 percent of commodity turnover.
It should grow and Armenia should be integrated with Europe more
closely."
