Armenia is wrong on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, Borys Tarasyuk, the
co-president of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly and the member
of the Ukrainian party 'Batkivshchyna' (Fatherland), told reporters
in Yerevan March 18.
"We have a clear stance," Tarasyuk added. "And we believe that in
the conflict on the Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia is wrong."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in
1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN
Security Council resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh
and the surrounding regions.
Elsewhere, he also said that Armenia should recognize the Holodomor
(Hunger-extermination). The Holodomor was a man-made famine in the
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1932 and 1933 that killed
2.5-7.5 million Ukrainians.
Answering to a question that if Ukraine isn't happy with Stalin's
policy, why it recognizes the boundaries of the union republics,
delineated by Stalin, Tarasyuk said those boundaries are "untouchable."
"It is not just for me, but for the whole world," he said. "The borders
inherited by the countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union,
were declared inviolable."
