By the latest resolutions of the European Parliament on Armenia and Russia it is evident that Europe started supporting Azerbaijan, director of the Russian/Eurasia Program, German Council on Foreign Relations Alexander Rahr told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to Rahr, the only reason why Europe did not demand Armenia to call back its troops from the conflict zone in Nagorno-Karabakh is that the EU is trying to find a peaceful solution between the parties of the conflict.
Commenting on the question why the OSCE co-chairs did not assess the shooting by Azerbaijan and the death of the three Armenian soldiers properly, Rahr said the reason is that the Karabakh conflict as well as the whole situation in the South Caucasus is not being discussed in Europe currently.
“More important events are taking place nearby – war might break out in Iran. Besides, today the American influence on the South Caucasus is more powerful,” Alexander Rahr mentioned.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Azerbaijani side has recently taken a number of egregious acts of provocation - ambulance was fired on April 24 in the direction of Nagorno-Karabakh, on April 25 the kindergarten in the village of Dovegh was shelled for about 40 minutes, on April 26 Azerbaijani saboteurs opened fire at a vehicle killing three Armenian soldiers.
