Rapporters of the European Parliament criticize Armenia for illegal activity in Karabakh
Baku/11.06.20/Turan: The chair of the delegation, MEP Marina Kaljuland, Standing rapporter on Armenia, MEP Traian Basescu and Standing rapporter on Azerbaijan, MEP Željana Zovko made a statement on the construction of a new highway between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh on June 10.
“Announced last year, the construction of a third highway connecting Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh will kick off soon.
This new road infrastructure will connect Kapan, in Armenia, with Hadrut, in Nagorno- Karabakh, passing through the districts of Qubadli and Jabrayil, which are also occupied.
As a matter of principle, we support projects that foster regional cooperation, connectivity and people-to-people contacts in the Eastern Neighbourhood. That said, the decision to build this highway has been taken without the consent of the competent authorities of Azerbaijan –in violation of international law. In addition, it could symbolically entrench the illegal occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and of its surrounding districts.
Therefore, we very much deplore this initiative as it does not help to create conditions conducive to trust, peace and reconciliation.
We reiterate our unwavering support to the efforts of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group and their 2009 Basic Principles.
For this mediation to have a chance of success, we call on the authorities of Armenia and Azerbaijan to step up their commitment, in good faith, to the negotiation on the peaceful resolution of the conflict within the internationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan”, - reads the statement.
Recall that official Baku always criticize European Parliament calling it “Proarmenian organisation” . As well Ilham Aliyev each time calls documents and statements of the European Parliament “a piece of paper which have no essence”.
Its interesting to know what he will say now? -02D-
