Question 1741 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr Stéphane Rambaud draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Indeed, a year after Azerbaijan's conquest of the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, the authorities in Baku are working to erase all traces of the region's Armenian and Christian past. No journalists are allowed to enter after the departure of one hundred and twenty thousand Armenians who were forced to flee Azerbaijan's attack on this Caucasian territory. Armenia denounces ethnic and cultural erasure: Armenian names are deleted, Christian symbols are broken, Armenian religious heritage is particularly targeted, the Nagorno-Karabakh parliament is destroyed and replaced by a congress center and a luxury hotel, Azerbaijanis are invited to come and replace the Armenian populations who left without take into account the historical Armenian presence in the region. Thus, even if Nagorno-Karabakh has been emptied of its indigenous Armenian population, Armenians in exile nevertheless continue to have a right to self-determination. This is why he asks him to please clarify the efforts made by French diplomacy to ensure that respect for the rights of the Armenian people of Nagorno-Karabakh is recognized. Without stabilization If the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh persists, there is a risk of further bloodshed, territorial encroachments and violations of fundamental human rights throughout the region, which could destabilize the eastern and south-eastern border of the European Union.
