/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The reports on the congratulations allegedly
addressed by Azeri Parliament Speaker Oktay Asadov to newly elected
Chairman of the Armenian National Assembly are groundless and
false,” Akif Nasirov, the Spokesman of the Azerbaijani Milli Mejlis
stated. “There was no congratulation of the kind and such reports
appear as a part Armenia’s anti-Azerbaijani propaganda,” he added.

Meanwhile, as RA NA Speaker Tigran Torosian told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter, Asadov’s congratulatory address was read June 8 by Asif
Hajiyev, the head of the Azeri delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization at the BSECO PA
plenary session in Yerevan.

“Oktay Asadov has really addressed a message to the BSECO PA and a
congratulatory message to me. It was read during the session. By the
way, the Echo, Baku-based newspaper, has already written that Asadov
was right to invite the delegates to Baku but the congratulation to
Tigran Torosian on the occasion of his election to the post of the
Speaker was, to put it mildly, was unnecessary,” the RA NA Chairman
reminded.
