Germany’s Bundestag Passes Resolution Calling for Prevention of Regional Wildfire in South Caucasus and Protection of Armenia’s Territorial Integrity
Berlin, November 18, 2024 – The German Bundestag, the lower house of the German parliament, has passed a resolution urging the prevention of a regional wildfire in the South Caucasus and the protection of Armenia’s territorial integrity.
The resolution, titled “20/13832: Antrag Regionalen Flächenbrand im Südkaukasus verhindern – Territoriale Integrität Armeniens schützen (PDF),” was adopted by a large majority of the Bundestag. It calls on the German government to take diplomatic steps to prevent a further escalation of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The resolution condemns the Azerbaijani attacks on Armenia in September 2022 and calls for the immediate withdrawal of Azerbaijani forces from Armenian territory. It also calls on the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to the victims of the conflict.
The resolution stresses the importance of a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and calls on all parties to the conflict to engage in dialogue and negotiations. It also calls on the German government to support the efforts of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
The resolution has been welcomed by the Armenian government and by Armenian diaspora organizations in Germany. The Armenian ambassador to Germany, Ashot Smbatyan, said that the resolution was a “strong message of support” for Armenia and that it would help to prevent further aggression from Azerbaijan.
The resolution has been criticized by the Azerbaijani government, which has accused Germany of bias in favor of Armenia. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said that the resolution was “unfair and one-sided” and that it would “further escalate tensions in the region.”
The passage of the resolution is a significant development in Germany’s policy towards the South Caucasus. It shows that the German government is increasingly concerned about the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and that it is willing to take steps to prevent further escalation. The resolution also sends a strong message of support to Armenia and its territorial integrity.
