SYDNEY: The New South Wales Parliament's
Armenia-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group has released a joint statement
supporting "the people of Nagorno Karabakh in seeking
self-determination" and expressing "its strong concern at recent
Azeri aggression" towards the Armenians of Artsakh.
The statement, was moved as a Group Resolution by
Chairman Jonathan O'Dea MP and supported by all members during their joint
meeting this week, attended by members of the Armenian National Committee of
Australia (ANC Australia).
The Armenia-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group
includes members of all parties, as well as Independents of the Upper and Lower
Houses of the NSW Parliament.
ANC Australia Executive Administrator, Arin Markarian
praised the move by O'Dea and his colleagues, at a time when reports indicate
that Azerbaijan is again building up its border military resources after its
unprecedented post-Ceasefire attacks on the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh from
April 1-5.
"This resolution shows the unequivocal and
continuing support from members of a Parliament, which has already recognised
the rights to self-determination of the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh in its
Legislative Council," said Markarian.
"The people of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh seek
and deserve peace, and this statement shows that a bi-partisan group of NSW
Parliamentarians stand with the government and people of Artsakh,"
Markarian added.
The full statement reads:
"The Armenia-Australia Parliamentary Friendship
Group indicates its support for the people of Nagorno Karabakh in seeking
self-determination, and expresses its strong concern at recent Azeri aggression
towards the people of Armenian background in that region."
