/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A group of deputies of the European Parliament,
who visited Nagorno Karabakh in 1992, made the following statement:
“Taking into consideration Azerbaijan’s advantage of man-power
and military equipment one can suppose that Karabakh will give up
in a few weeks… It is obvious that the defeat will be followed by
genocide and deportation”. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian
brought in this extract from the Europarliamentarians’ statement when
addressing the 12-th OSCE session, and added: “Let not my words but
the words of the group of deputies of the European parliament serve
as a basis for you”. About half a million of Armenianrefugees from
Azerbaijan are still waiting for the settlement of the conflict, he
noted. V. Oskanian also reminded of Azerbaijan’s policy towards the
occupied Armenian territories of NKR, where Azeris are moving in the
houses belonging to Armenians due to state programs carried out by the
Azeri leadership. Touching upon V. Oskanian’s speech we would like to
remind of some extracts from the US Senate resolution from May 1,1991,
which says in part: “Taking into account the fact that the USSR and
the government of the Azerbaijani Republic are continuing attacks at
the Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh, Armenia and Azerbaijan;
the Soviet and Azeri armed forces are destroying Armenian villages
and deporting the inhabitants from Nagorno Karabakh and territories
bordering with it we 1.condemn the attacks at innocent people in
Karabakh, and in the territories bordering with it 2.condemn the
military operations and firing upon the civilians at the eastern and
southern borders of Armenia.
