Frank Engel: It is time to recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh

YEREVAN, APRIL 13, ARMRNPRESS. Today Azerbaijan is an aggressor, as it was 25 years ago. MEP representing Luxemburg Frank Engel announced about this at the European Parliament during the discussion on Nagorno Karabakh.

“Azerbaijan will continue to violate the ceasefire for a long time. Azerbaijan acts like that, as it believes that all Armenians in that region must vanish. This is the reason why it has denied anything the Minsk Group proposes. And the Minsk Group can propose only mutual concessions, which Azerbaijan does not want to make”, Engel mentioned.

In his words, it is already clear that Armenia might not want to make a concession to a country that glorifies Ramil Safarov, the one who killed an Armenian by an exe and was extradited from Hungary to Azerbaijan, something that should have never happened. “In this situation the only palpable step is to recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh. Once it was defined as fully in line with the acting Soviet Constitution. It was never recognized, and now it the time to do that”, Frank Engel concluded.
