"Madam President, I voted along with the ECR Group in favour of this report, as Azerbaijan is an important country and a major supplier of Caspian oil and gas to Europe.
I take a strong interest in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the fact that the wording, following the Landsbergis amendment, is no longer the same in both reports is, I think, rather regrettable.
I back the calls put forward for the de-escalation of tensions and the scaling back of military spending in the region as a whole. The recommendations put forward by the report in terms of improving the difficult human rights situation in Azerbaijan are also commendable.
It is particularly important that an improvement of relations through a DCFTA and an association agreement between the EU and Azerbaijan are dependent upon an improved human rights record in that country – which has a rather bad record in this respect – and especially on an improvement in the freedom of expression for political opponents of the government."@en1
