Swiss MP calls for sanctions against Baku regime for aggression against Armenia

Baku's policy is a crime. We should be using these words to reveal that Azerbaijan is the aggressor and Armenia is the victim. Unfortunately, these roles are incomprehensible to most representatives of the international community, perhaps based on personal interests, perhaps because they are poorly informed, said Swiss MP Stefan Müller-Altermatt.

BERN (Realist English). The recent aggression of the Baku regime must be publicized and condemned, and justice must be restored. Stefan Müller–Altermatt, a member of the Swiss Parliament and co-chairman of the Switzerland-Armenia friendship Group, said this in an interview with “Armenpress”.

“This is a crime. We should use these words to reveal that Azerbaijan is the aggressor and Armenia is the victim. Unfortunately, in my opinion, these roles are incomprehensible to most representatives of the international community, perhaps based on personal interests, perhaps also because they are poorly informed. But I think the interests are mainly in the energy sector. And Azerbaijan is currently in a good position due to the weakening of Russia. This is the fate of Armenia,” the Swiss parliamentarian stressed.

In his opinion, sanctions should be imposed against the regime in Baku for aggression against Armenia:

“Azerbaijan is also carrying out aggression against Armenia, but there are no sanctions here, on the contrary, there are new agreements, EU statements that Azerbaijan is a reliable energy partner. This can’t be happening.”

The Swiss MP noted that the problem of a diplomatic settlement lies in the fact that the negotiations of the Minsk Group are negotiations with Russia, and “no one wants to negotiate with Moscow now”:

“If the international community agrees with Azerbaijan that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue has been resolved, and the Minsk Group says nothing about it, and there will be no peacekeepers, then there will be a new genocide. After decades of hatred inculcated against Armenians, there will be crimes and atrocities against the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh again. We need a political solution. Of course, the Minsk Group has become weak because of Russia’s weakness, but there is the EU, which is responsible for this region, the West, all Western countries that are responsible for Armenia.

The Republic of Artsakh is de facto a democracy, and I think we should protect this democracy, we should protect freedom of speech and human rights. And we found all this in Karabakh, not in Azerbaijan. It’s obvious. People exist, human rights exist, we cannot ignore them.”
