FRENCH MFA CONDEMNS AZERBAIJANI PROVOCATION AT A CONFERENCE DEVOTED TO EVENTS IN SUMGAIT
20:42 28/02/2013 " SOCIETY
Yesterday, in one of the halls of the National Assembly of France a
conference titled "25 years after the Sumgait events: present situation
and future prospects for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh" was held.
"We regret this incident and condiment that act that took place
on 26 February at the National Assembly. France believes that the
only possible way to long-term settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is through dialogue and once again confirms its obligation
as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group to this end in front of Armenia
and Azerbaijan," according to "AFP", said the spokesman for the French
Foreign Minister Philippe Lalliot.
Yesterday, in one of the halls of the National Assembly of France
a conference titled "25 years after the Sumgait events: present
situation and future prospects for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh"
was held. The conference was marred by the Azerbaijani provocation.
At the end, the attendees stood to honor the memory of the victims
killed during Sumgait pogroms and kept a minute's silence. Two
Azerbaijani provocateurs, a girl and a young man, refused to stand
up and to honor the Armenian victims in Azerbaijan and started to
shout anti-Armenian slogans. On the photos, published in "Nouvelles
d'Armenie", it is obvious how the Azerbaijani tries to provoke a fight
and attacks the audience. Azeri press disseminated false information
about beating and causing serious injuries, right up to fracturing, to
provocateurs. In the photos, published in the same Azerbaijani media,
it is clearly visible that there is no serious damage caused to both.
Moreover, participants of the provocation give contradicting evidence
about the incident: at first they say the girl was beaten together
with the guy, then they say she managed to leave the room.
French Parliament Member Valerie Boyer made a statement on the incident
that took place on the eve of February 27, the incident that took place
in one of the halls of the National Assembly of the country. The MP
addressed to French President Francois Hollande and call on taking
up relevant diplomatic actions to eradicate any propaganda campaign
on denying on ethnic grounds.
Here is the full statement made by Valerie Boyer:
"Carrying out propaganda of denial and multiplying acts of
anti-Armenian provocations, in particular, supporting criminals accused
of implementing violence against the Armenians (Safarov's case) Aliev
regime encourages the incidents similar to that recorded during Feb
25 event commemorating the 25th anniversary of Sumgait pogroms of
28-29 February 1988. This was an event during which we paid tribute
to memory of victims, and it became a scene of one more Azerbaijani
provocation, proving once again that Baku's intentions have nothing
to do with Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement."
A year ago I visited the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) in order to
get acquainted with that ancient Armenian land, which for many years
has been the victim of a forgotten ethnic confrontation. The current
Socialist government is completely indifferent to this conflict.
Moreover, in 2012, President Hollande received Aliyev with a broad
smile on his face.
Our country must raise this issue in order to protect the Convention
for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. On the
eve of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide that took place
in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 we should put an end to persecution
against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh because of their origin.
I address to French President Francois Hollande with a call to take
relevant diplomatic steps to end any denial of propaganda on French
land. I address to Claude Bartolone with a call to include on National
Assembly's agenda my bill the purpose of which is to introduce into
the domestic law of the Framework Decision of 28 November 2008 on
combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by
means of criminal law and which criminalizes the denial of the Armenian
Genocide. Oil can not buy neither the memory nor the human rights."
