@Source: trend.az
BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 19. Asaf Askar, an
international law expert residing and working in Germany, has sent
a letter to the President of the European Parliament, Roberta
Metsola, in response to a biased resolution concerning Azerbaijan,
Trend reports via
the State Committee for Work with Diaspora of Azerbaijan.
Askar raised a critical question: Does the European Parliament
truly demand the unconditional release of separatists and
terrorists who have killed Azerbaijani citizens?
He emphasized that since the 1990s, separatists have been
directly involved in the killing of over 30,000 Azerbaijanis, with
613 innocent civilians brutally killed in the Khojaly massacre. He
also pointed out that 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory was
under Armenian occupation for 30 years, with both underground and
surface resources illegally exploited and exported abroad through
Armenia. The damage to Azerbaijan from this occupation is estimated
at 100 billion manat ($58.8 billion).
The expert reminded that the inactivity of the OSCE Minsk Group
over 30 years allowed Armenia's occupation policy to continue
unchallenged.
In his letter, Asaf Askar highlighted that no European
organization showed interest in visiting the region during the
occupation to investigate the destruction and illegal activities
carried out by Armenian separatists. He raised the question of why
figures like Frank Schwabe, a member of the European Parliament,
did not call for investigations into Armenian separatist activities
during the occupation of Karabakh.
The letter concluded by criticizing the repeated biased
resolutions from the European Parliament demanding the
unconditional release of separatists and terrorists, calling this
stance a blatant disregard for Azerbaijan’s domestic laws and
international law.
