As the peace process between Baku and Yerevan progresses towards
success, the fever in some pro-Armenian MPs in the European
Parliament continues to go up. This can be seen in the statement
made by the MPs of the European Parliament concerning France's
arming of Armenia.
Let's imagine that, in the same way, Russia arms a country in
the South Caucasus, or a country seen as a threat to Europe, and
signs a military agreement with it. It can be said with certainty
that the European Parliament will not take an unambiguous approach
to this, but on the contrary, it will make a number of statements
about it.
However, a question arises: to whom is this statement harmful or
beneficial? Isn't it more appropriate for the European Parliament
to discuss economic problems, especially solutions for global
economic crisis, instead of deviating from its mission and getting
involved in adverse political manoeuvres?
In their statements, the members of the European Parliament
indicated that France's focus on arming Armenia in the most heated
process of the peace negotiations is a right of sovereignty. So
let's interpret it more delicately.
When the South Caucasus region was a centre of conflict for 30
years, neither France nor the European Parliament claimed any
state's sovereignty rights. At that time, all the advantages were
obviously with Armenia, and the need to take care of an occupying
country had not yet arisen. Although Armenia actually admits that
it is an aggressor, today France and the parliamentarians who
defend it do not accept this.
True to say, they unjustly consider dragging Armenia into a new
war as a sacred duty. Official Baku understands very well that the
hasty arming of Armenia at such a moment, and moreover, the
forcible riveting of the European military contingent to Yerevan,
does not come from good intentions. Because the European Parliament
sees progress towards peace as a threat to its insidious policy
regarding the South Caucasus.
The joint statement signed by Miriam Lexman from Slovakia,
François-Xavier Bellamy, Nathalie Loizeau, Raphaël Glucksman,
Marketa Gregorova, Christophe Gomard, Celine Imar, Laurent Castiot
from France, Lucas Fourlas and Costas Mavrides from Cyprus,
Bert-Jan Raussen from the Netherlands, Andrius Kubilius and Rasa
Juknevichenen from Lithuania and Charlie Weimers from Sweden, makes
no obstacle for either Azerbaijan or Yerevan on the way to
implementing the obligations for peace.
Azerbaijan has always said no to the policy of aggression or war
and will continue to use all its political will to the maximum
against any threat to the South Caucasus region.
