MP Rafael Huseynov, an Azerbaijani parliamentary representative to
the PACE, has prepared an official inquiry to the CE Ministerial
Committee, which will be finally discussed on the level of permanent
representatives. Huseynov told about it a correspondent of Trend,
who was dispatched to Strasbourg to cover the PACE spring session.
The document titled “New occupation plans by Arena, an aggressor
country, which seriously damages stability and progress in South
Caucasus’ has been submitted to the CE Secretariat.
“A special CE resolution 1416, dated 2005, notes that Armenia pursued
an ethnic cleansing policy in respect to Azerbaijan. Recently the
country has anew intensified the military actions in the conflict zone,
which indicates to the development of new aggression plans.
Armenian calls 7 districts occupied around Nagorno-Karabakh as a
‘buffer zone’. Armenia fires the Azerbaijani territory which is 100km
far from the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and by this way extends
the perimeter of the conflict. The population of border regions
is imposed to great danger. On the other hand, Armenia ahs started
openly stating on the plans of occupation of Nakhchivan. Specific
military and intelligence bodies have been established in Armenia in
this respect and they try spread disinformation on the destruction
of Armenian tombs in Nakhchivan and by this way try to lay grounds
for territorial claims,” the document reads.
The situation causes a question: “What discussions and steps can be
taken within the framework of the CE Ministerial Committee to prevent
threats coming out from Armenia, which has been officially recognized
by the CE as an aggressor country?”
Huseynov said that the issue will be considered shortly and publicized
it as an official document of the PACE.
A written letter will be officially submitted to the consideration
of the CE Ministerial Committee on 11 April 2006.
