Baku, July 15, AssA-Irada — The Azerbaijani delegation at the OSCE
Parliamentary Assembly (PA) has expressed discontent over the Foreign
Ministry statement on a draft resolution on the Upper Garabagh conflict
prepared by the Assembly’s rapporteur Goran Lennmarker.

Head of the Azerbaijani delegation at the Assembly, MP Sattar Safarov
told AssA-Irada that unlike the Ministry, Azerbaijani representatives
want ‘things to be presented as they are’. Armenia should be called
“invader” in the resolution to be passed by the OSCE PA and sanctions
imposed on this country.

The Foreign Ministry, in its statement issued following the OSCE PA
session, said that Azerbaijan is satisfied with Lennmarker’s draft
resolution.*
