"I supported this report, which clearly cited the advances and areas of concern in the negotiations over the association agreement with Armenia. I am still very concerned about the high level of corruption prevailing in Armenia and the explosive situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. It is sad to see that the already long-dead Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin, is still able to provoke various conflicts through his unjust division of borders between republics, hence my appeal to refuse to obey the wishes of the Red Executioner, and to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict using peaceful means. Here, I believe that the role of the European Union, the Republic of Turkey and the Russian Federation as peace mediators is an important one. As regards the criticism of Armenia concerning its friendly relations with the extremist Iranian regime, this is certainly reprehensible, but also partly understandable for pragmatic reasons, since Armenia is surrounded by Turkic peoples who have established an extensive blockade of the country. The narrow Georgian trade corridor is, unfortunately, too small for Armenia to be able to manage independently and emerge from isolation. I hope the various parties will be able to move forward without excessive emotions and concentrate on the future and not the past. A conflict-free situation would be beneficial to all of the countries in the region."@en1
