YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS: In the resolution 2216 adopted by the
European Parliament head of the NA ARF faction Vahan Hovhannisyan
sees several risks in addition to the one that Armenia is called
to take the armed forces out from the "occupied territories" of the
neighborhood of Nagorno Karabakh.
The resolution has been adopted in the basis of a report of member
of the Bulgarian delegation Yevgeny Kirilov.
V. Hovhannisyan noted at a meeting with journalists that the resolution
proposes that the French co-presidency in the OSCE Minsk Group in NKR
negotiations is replaced by another mandate, "This is dangerous for
us, as an opportunity is afforded to change the co-chairing country
from time to time with countries, in the policy of which the Turkish
influence is notable. Suchlike change will abruptly change the balance
of the formed forced in the OSCE Minsk Group," V.
Hovhannisyan noted.
According to V. Hovhannisyan, the resolution also included a proposal
on establishing a union of the Black Sea region. "Currently there
is the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, which
only has an economic orientation, and the intended union will have
exclusively a political significance, where Turkey and Russia will
take a prevailing position.
Establishment of closer relations between Russia and Turkey must be a
precept for us, the history has proved that. In any case, Armenia must
never agree to affiliate to this union," V. Hovhannisyan said. In his
opinion, by establishing a union of states of the Black Sea region,
the EU aims to push away Turkey, which knocks at the door of the EU
for many years. "In such a way the EU will cooperate with Turkey and
Russia simultaneously not letting these countries closer," the member
of the ARF faction said.
Lately V. Hovhannisyan participated in a forum organized by the
Socialistic Part of Bulgaria, in which Yevgeny Kirilov partook. "I
had meetings with the representatives of the Socialistic Party of
Bulgaria ad presented the truth on the Nagorno Karabakh issue. Many
of them were not encouraged by the resolution adopted by the European
Parliament," V. Hovhannisyan said.
