Baku/03.10.20/Turan:German Bundestag deputies Nicolas Loebel, member of the Foreign Policy Committee, rapporteur of the Eastern Partnership faction, and Eberhard Ginger, member of the Germany-South Caucasus parliamentary group, adopted an important statement on the Karabakh war on October 2.
The statement says:
25 thousand people died during the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh, and one million people became refugees. During that war, the armed forces of Armenia occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, which is about 5% of the territory of Azerbaijan, as well as seven adjacent regions of Azerbaijan.
The military occupation of a part of the state territory of Azerbaijan was condemned in four UN Security Council resolutions (822, 853, 874 and 884). Currently, about 20% of the territory of Azerbaijan is under the occupation of Armenia.
The international community continues to regard Nagorno-Karabakh as an integral part of Azerbaijan. The position of Germany and the European Union (EU) is that a long-term solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can only be peaceful.
Germany and the EU do not recognize the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" and the "elections" held by this regime.
Since 1992, the OSCE Minsk Group has been working to resolve this frozen conflict. Despite nearly 30 years of mediation efforts, attempts to end the status quo have failed. Ceasefire clashes have occurred since May 1994, resulting in the death of innocent people.
According to paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 2 of the UN Charter, member states must resolve international disputes only by peaceful means, so as not to endanger world peace, international security and justice.
All UN member states should refrain from the use of force or the threat of force directed against the territorial integrity and political independence of the state or are incompatible with the goals of the United Nations.
Germany wants to be a reliable partner for both Armenia and Azerbaijan. Mutual understanding based on common standards based on international law is a condition for relations with the countries of the South Caucasus. This includes fundamental principles, in particular the territorial integrity of states and the inviolability of borders, in accordance with the aforementioned UN resolutions.
Both sides are called upon to contribute to the settlement of the situation in the occupied territories without violating international law and to find an agreed solution to strengthen peace, democracy and stability in the South Caucasus.-02D-
