The European Free Alliance has called on UN member countries to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
The statement was adopted as a result of the annual assembly of the party that was held on Arpil 16-18 in Bautzen, Germany.
“In the rest of the world EFA sees a growing instability, more specifically in the Middle East. Learning from the commemoration periods, “100 years begin-end of the First World War ‘14-‘18” and “100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide 1915”, EFA asks governments and institutions to prevent, by all means, the use of violence when solving political or social problems.
War and ethnic cleansing should NEVER AGAIN happen. On this regard, the EFA takes note of the words stated in the “Pan-Armenian declaration on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide” 1 . EFA Calls upon the UN States to recognise Nagorno Karabakh as a normal state, which is based on the principles of democracy, freedom, justice and peace.
The case of Nagorno Karabakh is of crucial importance for the EFA family. We want to show not to only claim and defend the right to self-determination within states but to also support new states rising from a process of self-determination. EFA seeks to help these “non-recognized de facto independent states” and hopes to learn how a governmental political party of a “de facto” independent state functions,” the statement reads.
