European Parliament President Annita Demetriou to Send Protest Letter Over Azerbaijan’s Actions
In a decisive move, A Presidente do Parlamento Europeu, Annita Demetriou, announced her intention to send a stern letter of protest to the President of the Azerbaijani Parliament. The letter is a response to Azerbaijan’s proposed “inter-parliamentary” cooperation with the “parliament” of the occupied areas, a move that has raised concerns among European leaders.
During the Bank of Cyprus event “Youth Ask,” Demetriou expressed her disapproval, stating, “We are informed that Azerbaijan intends to do such a thing. We must stop it.” She highlighted that actions of this nature have been previously attempted by Azerbaijan and should be met with strong condemnation and the full use of political and diplomatic means available.
Demetriou’s proactive approach includes raising the issue at the upcoming meeting of the Presidents of the EU Parliaments in Spain. She also plans to discuss strategies with
The President of the House emphasized the ongoing challenge Cyprus faces, even after 50 years, against actions that attempt to normalize or justify occupation. She firmly rejected any acceptance of such behavior, regardless of time passed, and reiterated her commitment to opposing it through all possible measures.
Demetriou underscored the importance of unity and strategy in addressing these concerns.
The President’s call to action reflects a deep-seated commitment to upholding international law and ensuring that diplomatic efforts are at the forefront of resolving such disputes. With sanctions already in place from the Council of Europe against Azerbaijan, Demetriou’s forthcoming letters and discussions aim to fortify this stance and prevent any further attempts at undermining regional stability.
