Armenian parliament member Gagik Melikyan labeled Romanian President’s statement about the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan as the only way to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict as “unfit” for an EU country.

“Such statements go contrary to the policy of the OSCE Minsk Group. Moreover, the Romanian President had better remember the history of his country. Modern Romania was formed under hard historical and political circumstances, when the people were under foreign yoke. So, Basescu had to be more cautious when speaking about the South Caucasus and recollect Romanian people’s struggle for independence,” Melikyan said.

“Irresponsible statements like that make him an unwelcome figure in the EU,” the MP added.
