The Final conclusion adopted at the regular 13th session of the
EU-Armenia PCC that took place on November 28-29 in Brussels is quite
positive. In comparison with the previous similar PCC statements
concerning the formulations regarding the regulations of the Karabakh
conflict and Turkish-Armenian relations were more restricted and
specified and first time contained reference to the Armenian Genocide.
Besides that, there are reservations regarding the Stepanakert airport
and Ramil Safarov's case.
It was mentioned by the multi-party delegation members headed by the
Committee Co-chair, NA RPA fraction member Samvel Farmanyan while
briefing the Brussels session results at the session of 3 December. As
the negotiators evaluate, these positive reservations are the result
of the organized work of the Armenian members of the Committee
regardless the political views of the NA MP's and contradicting
positions regarding the internal life, as well as certain success in
overcoming the Azerbaijani lobbyist efforts.
The PCC in its statement and recommendations regarding regional
stability issues particularly 'condemns the decision of the President
of Azerbaijan, which granted a pardon by the EU member country
courts to the convicted murderer Ramil Safarov, expresses its deep
concern over his subsequent glorification after his extradition to
Azerbaijan; regards this gesture as not only contrary to the spirit
of international law but as contributing to further tensions in the
region, exacerbating feelings of injustice; condemns any provocation
that would add further tension to an already tense and fragile
situation'.
It is also mentioned that the Committee 'is deeply concerned that such
acts could jeopardize reconciliation attempts and further undermine the
future development of peaceful people-to-people contact in the region,
which is a significant way to achieve lasting and sustainable peace.
The Committee 'welcomes all statements contributing to the peaceful
settlement of the conflict and reminds that regarding the planned
opening of an airport in Nagorno-Karabakh, the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs have received renewed assurances from all sides that,
in accordance with international law, they reject any threat or use
of force against civil aircraft and will refrain from politicizing
the issue'.
