The speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, Artur Bagdasaryan, has
sent official letters to the speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament,
Murtuz Alasgarov, and to the chairman of the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly, Pierre Lellouche, asking for security guarantees during the
Rose-Roth seminar organized by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Baku
at the end of this month.
The address has been sent in the light of recent facts of violence in
Azerbaijan and on the part of Azerbaijanis in other countries, as well
as the barring of Armenian officers from NATO exercises in September
and the deportation of a Bulgarian sports journalist of Armenian
descent, Eduard Papazyan, the press service of the Armenian National
Assembly has told Arminfo.
The National Assembly, confirming the readiness of its delegations for
cooperation within international organizations and the decision of the
National Assembly administration to send a delegation to Baku, also
expresses its concern over its security and hopes that the necessary
security guarantees would be provided during the Rose-Roth seminar.
The Rose-Roth seminar will be attended by the chairman of the standing
parliamentary commission on defence, national security and internal
affairs, Mger Shakhgeldyan, and MP Aleksan Karapetyan.
