Baku will give consent to the 10 member commission of the European
Parliament to examine the site of ancient Armenian cemetery of Old
Jugha, Nakhijevan, only on terms of conducting “two-sided examination”,
AzeriPress agency reports.

The president of the European Parliament has recently approved of
the initiative to send a mission to survey the site of destruction
of Armenian monuments.

Azerbaijan voices dissatisfaction with the fact that the EP decided
to entrust the mission to Armenia-EP interparliamentary committee
instead of setting an ad hoc committee.

To date, the European delegation is due to arrive in the region on
April 17-21.
