Member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Artsvik Minasyan
said that the European Parliament’s Resolution on the South Caucasus
is a result of active propaganda of the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem.

Although the document has a consultative nature, first of all,
it creates certain atmosphere, which is undesirable for Armenia,
Minasyan told a briefing in the RA National Assembly.

According to Minasyan, the resolution was prepared as a result of
the Armenian-Turkish process and activity of Turkey and Azerbaijan
in the Karabakh issue.

"Thus, Armenia should do the following: keep the Karabakh conflict
within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, actively populate
the liberated territories around NKR and finally withdraw from the
Armenian-Turkish process," he said.

According to Minasyan, Hay Dat committees’ activity allowed withdrawing
even more unfavorable provisions for Armenia prior to the resolution’s
adoption.

"As far as I know, Armenia also took actions to improve the document.

However, it becomes clear from the adopted resolution that Armenia
should pursue a clearly shaped, systematized foreign policy,"
said Minasyan.

He added that implementation of the resolution’s provisions will
inevitably lead to a war in Karabakh.
