Czech Republic’s Foreign Ministry was not involved in the preparation of the resolution on Khojalu events. In response to a written inquiry by Armenian News-NEWS.am the Ministry said:

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not involved in the preparation of the resolution which was prepared by Foreign Relations Committee of the Czech Parliament.

The official position of the Czech Republic towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has not changed. The Czech Republic supports the efforts of the international community and especially of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group to find a peaceful solution to the conflict and pursues the policy of friendly and mutually advantageous relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The Ministry has been unpleasantly surprised that the information on the adoption of said resolution was posted on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan before its content was made public by the above-mentioned Foreign Committee itself.”

Earlier Azerbaijani media reported that the Czech Republic recognized Khojalu events as “genocide.”
