BAKU, MARCH 23. ARMINFO. The reason that the European Parliament rejected the proposal on release of 5 regions of Azerbaijan in return for opening of transport commmuniations between Armenia and Azerbaijan is the activity of the Armenian lobby, EU Special Representative to the South Caucasus Heikki Talvitie told journalists in Baku yesterday.
He said that the position of the Azerbaijani or Armenian governments may influence the solutions to the issue by the European Parliament, However, the sides can lobby their positions. It is not enough to present one’s opinion, it is necessary to persuade the European MPs that it is right. Sometimes. it requires very long time, Heikki Talvitie said. He refuted the supposition that the decision of the European MPs was dictated by the Christian “solidarity.” The European MPs do not form groups in conformity with the religious orientation, but in conformity with their political positions: conservators, “greens,” socialists etc.., Talvitie said.
