/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian parliamentarians must participate in NATO
Parliamentary Assembly Rose-Roth seminar in Baku,” Armenian National
Assembly Vice-Speaker Vahan Hovhannisian stated in an interview with
Armenpress news agency. The organizers of the seminar will have to
seriously take care of securing the Armenian deputies, he said. In
the Vice-Speaker’s words, “if the Azeri party does not provide
entry permits, the NATO will have to continue the chosen practice by
canceling the seminar, too.” Everything might have been in a different
way, if such extremist approaches “were not under the auspices of
the top leadership – the country President,” he stated, adding the
Parliament will consider the question within the coming three days. It
should be reminded that the NATO leadership canceled Cooperative Best
Effort – 2004 exercises due to official Baku refusing to issue entry
visas to Armenian officers, who were to participate in the maneuvers.
