The Armenian actions are contrary to principles of the Council of Europe, the Geneva Convention, and other international principles., MP Ganira Pashayeva, the member of Azerbaijan delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe told Trend.
She pointed out that she prepares a document concerning the recent firings of peaceful population of villages located close to the front by Armenians, and the intense breaking of the cease-fire regime by them to the Parliamentary Assembly. The main goals of the recent breakings of the cease-fire from by Armenians are local peaceful population. The people of those villages which lies near the front fear to come out to the fields under crops where they work because of Armenian snipers, she told.
She also pointed out that there are no suspicions that just Armenia stands for the Nagorno-Karabakh separatists. I raised this issue at the summer session of the Parliamentary Assembly. I marked that Armenian President Robert Kocharyan congratulated the separatists on the day of occupation of the Town of Shusha. The visit of the Armenian Prime-Minister and Defense Minister to Nagorno-Karabakh complicates the situation. Moreover, the Armenian Defense Minister participates in the military trainings of the Nagorno-Karabakh separatists. During my speech I proved that Armenia is the main party of the conflict, she stressed.
According to her, despite the 14/16 Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe on Acknowledgement Armenia as an aggressor urged Armenia to withdraw its troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Yerevan has chosen the way of complicating of the situation. Now Armenian targets are peaceful population of the areas lies close to the front. The people live in a fear in their villages. Armenian military units regularly fire them, she told.
The MP told that despite the Armenia being a member of the Council of Europe, it carries out actions contrary to the principles of this organization. She also said that during the summer session of the Parliamentary Assembly more than 40 members of the organization signed the document on Armenian Policy on Illegal Settlement of Armenians on the Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan being prepared earlier. The document also points out that Armenia makes burnings on the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh, excepting Kalbajar and Lachin where it settles Armenians. That speaks that Armenians intend to hold a referendum in the future, she stated, pointed out that according to the official state program of Armenia till 2010 it is stipulated to raise Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh up to 300,000 people. I marked in the document that 23,000 Armenians were settled in Lachin. Among them the most are citizens of Armenia.The Armenian Government pledges to provide them with all necessary conditions and render
a financial aid to them. There are foreign citizens of the Armenian origin there, she told.
G. Pashayeva also told that she has prepared a resolution on the Armenian actions contrary to all international principles and submitted it to the parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe.
