"(b o)"call for an immediate withdrawal of foreign troops from all occupied territories and for an end to military hostilities, which unnecessarily claim the lives of civilians and soldiers whilst hampering socioeconomic development, and enable hundreds of thousands of IDPs to return to their homelands"".
The Resolution also outlines the problem of returning Azerbaijani refugees to their homeland, which was promoted by the Azerbaijani leadership, despite the fact that the role of the OSCE Minsk group mediation mission in the peace talks on Nagorno-Karabakh is represented by only one wording:
" (b r)""reaffirm support to the OSCE Minsk Group co-Chairs' efforts to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to their 2009 Basic Principles, with a view to achieve a solution based on the norms and principles of international law, the UN Charter and the OSCE 1975 Helsinki Final Act, encourage all sides to intensify dialogue and to refrain from inflammatory rhetoric that would further jeopardise any prospects for settlement"".
The three main principles of the peace talks on Nagorno-Karabakh was left by the foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament.
"(b m)"Reiterate the EU's commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of the EaP countries within their internationally recognized borders and support their efforts to fully enforce those principles; underline the importance of the unity and solidarity of the Member States in this regard"".
In this case, the third fundamental principle - the right of peoples to self-determination-is also missing. The resolution notes that the implementation of the above-mentioned obligations is "mandatory", i.e. the European Parliament takes into account the recognition of the territorial integrity of the Eastern partnership countries, their internationally recognized borders, and the mandatory implementation of these principles without any restrictions, including the non-use of force.
T he deputies who promoted these formulations took this position as a result of active lobbying by the Azerbaijani side. While each state seeks to promote its own interests, the willingness of the deputies to abandon the official EU position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, in favor of one of the parties to the conflict, caused great alarm.
We should admit, now the EU does not have a clear position on this conflict, and does not have a fundamental force in protecting the rule of law in the continental space.
