Markéta Gregorová, Czech member of the European Parliament, spoke at the session of the European Parliament on Armenia-EU relations.
“Dear partners, in 2022, the import of Azerbaijani gas to Europe barely increased to 3 percent. Baku earned $15.6 billion from the contract last year. Azerbaijan also sends 65 percent of its oil to European countries, but within the framework of our energy needs, they are under the category of others.
We are in no way dependent on imports from Azerbaijan. Only Aliyev benefits from this deal.
Now let's compare. As a result of ethnic cleansing, more than 140,000 Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh were forcibly displaced, they suffered from the months-long blockade of the Lachin Corridor. There is not even a classical dilemma between the sustainability of our own prosperity and human rights.
Please pass the question to Mr. Borrell, who is not present again, what will he do to help Armenia and will he convince his colleagues in the commission to reduce gas and oil supplies from Azerbaijan to free our hands,” said the deputy.
