Azerbaijan must recognize complete exercise of self-determination right of Artsakh people, says Sharmazanov

Azerbaijan must recognize complete exercise of self-determination right of Artsakh people, says 
Sharmazanov

YEREVAN, MARCH 27, ARMENPRESS. Eduard Sharmazanov, deputy speaker of Armenia’s Parliament and head of the Armenian parliamentary delegation to the CSTO PA, participated in the CSTO PA council session in St. Petersburg’s Tauride Palace where he delivered a speech, the parliament’s press office told ARMENPRESS.

Sharmazanov namely said:

“Dear colleagues,

I congratulate us all on the 15th anniversary of CSTO formation and 10th anniversary of the CSTO parliamentary assembly formation. In the modern world, withstanding challenges requires tactical, flexible and accurate decision making.

Today the CSTO PA faces new issues. We live in a rapidly changing world, and the rise in tension in the CSTO responsibility zone, including Southern Caucasus, is obvious.

During the autumn and spring sittings of the CSTO PA Azerbaijan engaged in armed adventurism in the Armenian state border, breaching the 1994 ceasefire, as well as the Vienna and St. Petersburg agreements. This kind of behavior is inadmissible and condemnable.

The CSTO has officially condemned the December sabotage, labeling the Azerbaijani actions as “provocation”. I find it noteworthy to mention that in addition to the statements of the CSTO Secretary General and our Russian parliamentary colleagues, the other CSTO allies refrained from statements condemning the Azerbaijani provocative actions. Azerbaijan’s such behavior is a provocation not only against Armenia, but also the CSTO. Therefore, the condemnable statements of the CSTO PA representatives are more than a necessity.

Dear colleagues,

Our parliamentary delegation is in favor of exclusively peaceful settlement of conflicts in the CSTO responsibility zone, namely in the issue of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. We have to do everything that depends on us for the establishment of peace in the region. However, for strengthening peace and stability, Azerbaijan must first of all recognize the full exercise of the self-determination right of the people of Artsakh.

I hope in case of working together in international platforms and assisting each other, we can have our positive contribution in establishing and strengthening security in the CSTO responsibility zone.”
