ArmInfo. Even if the Europarliament’s resolution on Nagorno Karabakh
may be considered Azerbaijani diplomacy’s victory, it is a little,
parliamentarian from Republican party faction of Armenia Gagik Melikyan
said at today’s press-conference.

He also blamed the Armenian delegation for inaction, allegedly thanks
to which the resolution was allegedly passed. “I think there really
were certain shortcomings related to inactivity of the Armenian party,
however, one should not hang the whole blame on ambassadors”, he said.

Melikyan thinks that besides permanent criticism of the Armenian
diplomacy, one should sometimes take into account the achievements
as well, for example, adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution
by US House of Representatives on March 4.

To recall, the Europarliament passed a resolution on May 20 based on
the report “On the Necessity of Development of EU Strategy in the South
Caucasus” by Bulgarian MP Yevgeny Kirillov saying, in particular,
that the “occupied” Azerbaijani regions around Nagorno Karabakh
must be promptly cleared. According to the report, an intermediate
status must be proposed till final determination of the NKR status,
and this may create frames for peaceful co- existence and cooperation
of Armenians and Azerbaijanis in the region.
