NATO has assessed the Armenians’ failure to attend the Rose-Roth
seminar [of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly] as a move which is far
from impartiality and serves other purposes.

NATO Parliamentary Assembly Secretary-General Simon Lunn regrets the
Armenian MPs’ absence from the aforesaid seminar, which is currently
under way in Baku.

He said that the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and Azerbaijan had created
all the necessary conditions for the Armenians’ participation. Their
security was guaranteed as well. Despite this, the Armenians opted
not to come.
