lpv:translated text	"Mr President, let me first of all thank the rapporteurs and other colleagues for the difficult, but ultimately successful, negotiations. First of all, Armenia has made progress in democratisation, media freedom and human rights following the problems in the aftermath of the 2008 elections. However, we would expect the Armenians to make gestures on giving back the surrounding occupied territories, regardless of the ongoing negotiations with Nagorno-Karabakh. That would be an important step forward. I am glad that we agreed in the report to criticise both countries for the military build-up that is going on, as well as to urge both countries to sign and ratify the conventions against landmines and cluster munitions. I am especially glad that five major groups in this House have succeeded in including a reference in tomorrow’s vote to evictions and house demolitions, some of which are occurring in relation to the upcoming Eurovision song contest in Baku at the end of May. I am also glad that this Parliament is expressing its support for human rights activists who want to use the Eurovision song contest to improve human rights and the democratic record in Azerbaijan. As Ms Jäätteenmäki has already mentioned, we were informed today that the Azeri police had tried to enter the flat of the human rights activist, Leyla Yunus, today without a search warrant. This comes just one day after the President of Azerbaijan talked about the slanderous statements made by some citizen instigators. I think that, as Ms Jäätteenmäki said, it is vital that economic development, respect for human rights and freedom of the media and civil society go hand in hand."@en1
