The tribunal against Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to be established by the end of this year, European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders said in an interview with Deutsche Welle. And when will the European Union create a tribunal for the President of Azerbaijan Aliyev, whose actions are inferior to Putin’s perhaps only in that he used his bellicose aggression not against the people of Ukraine, but against the people of Artsakh, as well as the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, and at the same time, he continued to make political threats and blackmail.
By the way, it is symbolic that European Commissioner Reynders spoke about the tribunal against Putin on the day when the Eurojust agreement was signed between Armenia and the EU in Brussels. It was signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Mirzoyan, the Minister of Justice and Northern Seas of Belgium, as well as the European Commissioner Reynders. In general, it would be interesting to know the European Commissioner’s assessment of what Ilham Aliyev has done, not starting from the 44-day war of 2020, but from September 2012, when the EU member “bought” an ax-wielding criminal from Hungary, sentenced to life without extradition. of law Ramil Safarov and Azerbaijan declared him a hero of the nation, subjecting him to great honors.
With that action, Aliyev essentially “tested” the international community as well, including the attitude and reaction of the European Union, the flag bearer of humanitarian, legal, democratic values and freedom. And the response and attitude – zero. It was the green light of impunity for Aliyev, which also gave him an open way for further growth of aggressiveness, bringing it to the current point, when Artsakh has undergone ethnic cleansing, when the territories of Armenia are occupied, and Baku continues to whisper in the language of blackmail, looking for a new occupation. And during that time, the European Union not only did not give any value-system response to Baku’s actions, but actually also declared it an important energy partner and signed a five-year agreement in order to increase the export of energy carriers.
These are significant circumstances, which in essence also subject to scrutiny the commitments that the European Union announces regarding deepening the relationship with Armenia. For the people of Armenia, the European value system aspirations are a civilizational choice, and moreover, these values were expressed centuries ago at least in different stages in the history of the Armenian people, although they were constantly subjected to the military-political tests that Armenia faced both as an independent state and as an independent country. in loss cycles. In that sense, the public of Armenia considers partnership with the European Union important not to learn democracy, not to learn values, but to have a reliable and solid, principled ally, partner in the matter of strong and reliable protection of the values it has endured and which have been targeted by various historical and political realities. This is being examined from the point of view of Armenia regarding the policy of the European Union towards Aliyev’s government.
