These days we are witnessing an ongoing historical crime against a long-suffering people, the Armenians, Giorgos Georgiou, MEP from Cyprus stated at the 'Situation in Nagorno-Karabakh after Azerbaijan’s attack and the continuing threats against Armenia' debate in the European Parliament.
"They are again victims of ethnic cleansing by Mr. Aliyev, a close ally of Mr. Erdoğan - unfortunately, however, and a close ally of the European Union itself.
Ms von der Leyen only recently exchanged handshakes with Mr Aliyev. Azerbaijani natural gas, I wonder, comes above people's lives and hypocritical declarations of democracy and human rights?
Amid intense geopolitical tussles over control of its energy sources and transportation, traditional friends - we know who they are - as well as late allies of Armenia - the United States, NATO, the European Union - have abandoned Armenians to Aliyev's mercy. In this way, the hypocrisy of those who speak today about an international legal order is highlighted, and what remains in the end are the two standards and the tragedies of the peoples. These days are days of sorrow and pain," Georgiou said.
