Turkey’s ruling party on Tuesday voiced criticism over the decision of the lower house of the Belgium parliament on Upper Karabakh, calling it “null and void”.

Speaking at a news conference following the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party's Central Executive Board meeting, Omer Celik, the spokesman of the party, said that resolution 1597 related to Nagorno-Karabakh adopted by Belgium’s Chamber of Representatives, is “unjust, unlawful, unfair, and illegitimate.”

"The situation to which radicalism and aggression brought Armenia is clearly downfall," Celik asserted.

New clashes erupted on Sept. 27 and the Armenian army launched attacks on civilians and Azerbaijani forces, violating cease-fire agreements.

During the 44-day conflict, Azerbaijan liberated several cities and nearly 300 settlements and villages from Armenian occupation.

The two countries signed a Russia-brokered agreement on Nov. 10 to end the fighting and work toward a comprehensive resolution.
Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
