Pro-Armenian EU Parliament Resolution Against Azerbaijan Harms Peace Process

Fatima Hasanova read more The European Parliament has adopted another anti-Azerbaijani
document, Azernews reports.
The resolution, which makes several provocative appeals to Baku,
is written as if its authors are from Armenia, not a number of
other European nations.
Parliamentarians did not read the draft resolution thoroughly in
advance. The document must normally be made available to delegates
a few days before the vote. The MEPs received the draft resolution
only two days before. Actually, a short period of time makes it
impossible to form an objective opinion about the project.
The fact that nothing will change after the resolution is
adopted is well-known to European parliamentarians. Almost from the
podium, the same MEPs, who supported the resolution, declared that
it imposes no obligations and will only lead to unnecessary
conflict and be unhelpful for the sides to reach a peaceful
solution.
The mood in the European Parliament during the anti-Azerbaijani
vote speaks for itself. Every detail was known to everyone. They
understood that the resolution 'would be endorsed anyway,' that it
only harmed relations with Azerbaijan, and most importantly, that
it says a lot about the atmosphere in the parliament. Evidently,
there is no need to wait for the European Parliament's stance
toward Azerbaijan to improve in 2023 because, to put it mildly, its
current composition is biased and obviously works only for one of
the parties.
The Azerbaijani people can only hope that the new deputies will
be more objective and independent of the pro-Armenian forces in
2024 when new elections to the European Parliament will be
held.
The failure of the Russian peacekeeping contingent to prevent
the illicit exploitation of natural resources in Karabakh has
resulted in the ongoing protest on the major road that passes by
Shusha. As a result of the December 3 and 7, 2022, talks with the
Russian peacekeeping command, a delegation comprising specialists
from the Ministries of Economy, Ecology and Natural Resources, the
State Property Service under the Ministry of Economy, and AzerGold
Company was to conduct a preliminary monitoring of the illegal
exploitation of mineral deposits in Karabakh, where peacekeepers
are temporarily stationed, as well as related environmental and
other problems.
However, due to the inaction of the peacekeepers, the monitoring
did not take place and resulted in the continuous protest of the
Azerbaijani eco-activists, thus paving the way for the birth of a
new movement.
