ArmInfo.We unhesitatingly supported the Ukrainian people when they were attacked by Russia. We must denounce with such a clear voice the criminal aggression launched last night against Armenia by Mr. Aliyev's regime ," French politician, MEP Francois-Xavier Bellamy stated today at a meeting of the European Parliament.
"Tonight, after midnight, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive against Armenia. There were powerful explosions, attacks were made on several cities and villages located on the territory of Armenia, that is, not only on places of military importance, but also on civilian settlements and facilities", the politician stressed.
According to him, nothing, can justify this aggression. "Two years ago, violating all the rules of international law, Azerbaijan, supported by Turkey, attacked Nagorno-Karabakh. This time, it is attacking the territory of the Republic of Armenia."
Addressing the Speaker of the European Parliament, Francois-Xavier Bellamy called for listening to the voice of Parliament in this emergency. "Our decisive position can prevent this war, and it can stop Azerbaijan in the implementation of its plan. Let's finally stop treating this criminal state as a legitimate partner and funding its threats by buying gas from it. Let us take swift action to prepare sanctions that are effective. Immediately demand a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. We must do this to protect our continent from danger. But first of all, we must stand next to the Armenian people, with whom we equally share sorrow and pain."
