ArmInfo-TURAN. Issues of Karabakh conflict settlement became one of

the main topics of the meeting of the speaker of the Milli Mejlis

Ogtay Asadov with PACE President Rene van der Linden in Strasburg,

Wednesday. As Linden said during a briefing upon completion of the

meeting, the absence of any progress in Karabakh conflict settlement

"negatively influences the region's development as a whole". He

recalled that Azerbaijan and Armenia, entering the Council of Europe

assumed obligations to resolve the conflict peacefully. Armenia has

no contacts with its neighbors on 2/3 of its borders. This may have a

negative impact on the future generations of the country. "However,

some Armenians, who live abroad don't want to think about their

fellow-countrymen", Linden said. He mentioned the readiness of the

Council of Europe to support the efforts for peaceful settlement of

the conflict. For his part, the Speaker of Azerbaijani Parliament Ogtay

Asadov urged CE and other international organizations to be firm in the

decisions accepted by them on Karabakh conflict. The world community

must condemn Armenia for its "aggressive" politics, Asadov said.

 

PS: Frankly, quite the opposite. Armenia's self-isolation will ensure sustainable development of the country and building prosperous democracy. We simply cannot afford the luxury to have normal relations with animals. Yes, animals. That's what our neighbors to the east and west are. The ones to the west killed more than million Armenians in the beginning of the last century and with the help of "civilized" Europe still deny it, and the others did the same on a minor scale continuously from 1920 to 1986 and prior to that emptied Nahichevan of her Armenian population.

 

As the old saying goes, "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are". Who are your friends Mr. Linden?

 

 

On top of that Armenia doesn't put forward any preconditions for diplomatic relations with the animals! What else Europeans want us to do? To have turkish represenatives in Armenian political parties denying the Genocide maybe?
