    MILAN CABRNOCH: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT'S RESOLUTION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ARMENIA'S DECISION TO JOIN CUSTOMS UNION

    The European Parliament's resolution on the European Neighborhood
    Policy has nothing to do with Armenia's decision to join the Customs
    Union. Nor does it imply any change in the European Parliament's
    attitude towards the country, Co-Chairman of the Armenia-EU
    Parliamentary Cooperation Commission Milan Cabrnoch said in an
    interview with ArmInfo.

    When asked about his personal attitude towards the provision concerning
    Nagorno-Karabakh, Cabrnoch said that the resolution was adopted by a
    majority of the European parliamentarians and was an official document
    of the European Union.

    In an earlier interview with ArmInfo, the Armenian Co-Chair of the
    Armenia-EU Parliamentary Cooperation Commission Samvel Farmanyan said
    that the provisions of the resolution ran counter to the European
    Union's official stance on the Karabakh conflict, as well as to
    the whole logic of the Karabakh peace process in the OSCE Minsk
    Group format. "I remember no other resolution to contain so rough
    and unilateral assessments divorced from the reality. Certainly,
    here we cannot neglect the circumstance that the adoption of this
    resolution reflects the situational approach in relation to the
    latest developments (Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union -
    editor's note). I think our partners in the European Parliament are
    guided by wrong considerations", he said.

    At the plenary session of the European Parliament on 23 October,
    a draft resolution on the European Neighborhood was adopted.

    Azerbaijani media outlets report that in the paragraph #16, the
    resolution "denounces the occupation by one country of the Eastern
    Partnership of the territory of another and states that the settlement
    of Armenian Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh Conflict should comply with
    UN Security Council Resolutions." The document "recalls its position
    that the occupation by one country of the Eastern Partnership of
    the territory of another violates the fundamental principles and
    objectives of the Eastern Partnership and that the resolution of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should comply with UN Security Council
    resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 of 1993 and the Organization for
    Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group Basic Principles,
    enshrined in the L'Aquila joint statement of 10 July 2009".
