My visit to Armenia this time starts with meetings in Yerevan. I will leave tomorrow with my delegation to the southern regions of Armenia, and the motto of the visit is to express solidarity with Armenia as a democratic country and also to send a message to the autocratic regime of Azerbaijan that there is no alternative in this region and we will not tolerate any military solution in the region. The Chairman of the Bundestag Foreign Relations Committee, Michael Roth, said this during a press conference in Yerevan.
"The use of military force against the ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh is definitely a gross violation of international law, and it also violates the beliefs and principles we have regarding international law, and we strongly condemn this practice.
The policy of equality that we conducted with young democratic Armenia and rich and autocratic Azerbaijan has failed," he said, noting that it means that the policy needs to be reformulated.
"If Azerbaijan does not stop its aggressive and provocative policy, there will certainly be sanctions against the Azerbaijani regime, which are currently being developed. We will continue to support all negotiations aimed at peace with the same intensity," said Michael Roth.
