The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are calling to accept investigative mechanism on ceasefire violations and Armenia agrees to accept this mechanism, several members of the European Parliament said during the debates on situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The only reason for not establishing such a mechanism is refusal of Azerbaijan, Bulgarian MP Angel Dzhambazki said, adding that this is not acceptable that strategic partner Azerbaijan is acting this way. He emphasized that Azerbaijan received support from Turkey only, and its purpose is to fight the Armenian people.
In turn, member of the European Parliament from the Czech Republic Jaromír Štetina recalled that Bolshevik Soviet Union assigned the territory of Karabakh to Azerbaijan and to support Azerbaijan means “to endorse brutal nationalist Soviet policy of that time”.
Meanwhile, Petras Auštrevičius representing Lithuania, spoke about Russia’s role in the conflict, noting that “bloody money” from arm sales is pouring to Russia’s budget. He called on the European Parliament to stop destructive dominance of Russia in the region and come back to talks as a global player and a major negotiator to the conflict
