BAKU: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan issued a statement on the biased resolutions adopted by the Parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.
“Recently, we observe that the Parliament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands adopted resolutions against Azerbaijan that do not reflect the truth and are completely biased.
Thus, 11 resolutions adopted by the House of Representatives of the Dutch Parliament since October 7 on the situation in the region, being unilateral, reflect unfounded and biased claims, openly expressing an anti-Azerbaijani and anti-Turkish position. The resolution “On rendering humanitarian aid to Nagorno-Karabakh” adopted on December 17 again distorts the truth, reflecting groundless accusations against Azerbaijan and Turkey.
We strongly reject these resolutions of the Dutch parliament and call on the House of Representatives to abandon its one-sided position and act in accordance with the norms and principles of international law.
The Netherlands, like other European countries with biased parliaments, instead of fomenting hostility, can promote peace, stability and prosperity in the region by supporting a new framework for security and cooperation in the region with a joint statement issued on November 10,” the ministry said.
During the plenary session of the House of Representatives of the Belgian Federal Parliament on December 17, 2020, a draft resolution entitled “Support to the initiatives of Belgium and international organizations for a lasting solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and a ceasefire” was adopted.
As we reported, Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, who is on a working visit to Belgium to attend a meeting of the Azerbaijan-EU Cooperation Council, met with Sophie Wilmes, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Affairs, Foreign Trade and Federal Cultural Institutions. During the meeting, Minister Jeyhun Bayramov brought to the attention of the Belgian official the protest and dissatisfaction of Azerbaijan with the adoption of a resolution by the Belgian Parliament reflecting baseless and biased allegations against Azerbaijan, as well as brotherly Turkey. –Agencies
