Swedish Parliament Rejected Azeri-Sponsored Bill

    • Politics - Thursday, 10 May 2012, 12:21

Mediamax reported that the the motion, introduced last year by Mehmet Kaplan (Green Party) called for Sweden’s active involvement in the Karabakh conflict and demanded “immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all Armenian military forces from occupied Azeri territory” and that international organizations should work “for guarantying the safety, security and self-rule of the Armenian minority in Nagorno-Karabakh within the territorial boundaries of Azerbaijan”.

The motion, being a so-called single motion signed only by one person, was not given a separate consideration of its own, but was voted on together with a number of other issues.

Instead, the Riksdag adopted the Foreign Committee’s wording, stating that “the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict needs a peaceful solution and there is a mechanism to handle the issue. This is the responsibility of the Minsk Group. The Committee supports the efforts which are ongoing within the framework of OSCE”.
