Turkish Blockade Of Armenia
EDM number 344 in 2006-07, proposed by Nia Griffith on 29/11/2006.
That this House recognises the incompatibility of Turkey's ongoing 13-year blockade of Armenia with the declared UK, NATO and EU policy objectives of regional security and prosperity; is appalled by the fact that Turkey is the only Council of Europe country to engage in a blockade against a fellow member-state; notes that the blockade has already had a considerable negative impact on Armenian, Turkish and regional development and continues to undermine efforts at international development in the region; further notes that Armenia is in favour of establishing diplomatic relations with Turkey; and urges the Turkish government to lift its blockade and work towards the establishment of diplomatic relations without any preconditions inconsistent with international law or the EU accession criteria.
