"The cup is half full". These were the words of Murad Mergan, the head
of the Turkish delegation to PACE with which he offered to confirm
the authorities of the Azeri delegates. In the January session they
were given a chance to prove that Azerbaijan is following the path
of democracy. The chance was the May 13 Parliamentary reelection in
several polling stations.

Today Resolution 1480 was being discussed in PACE which was prepared
by co-reporters Andreas Gross and Andreas Herkel. During the listening
10 delegates addressed the session five of whom were delegates from
Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Azeris announced with voices trembling
with excitement that theirs is a democratic country and follows the
path of democracy at the same time thanking the CE for support.

Gultekin Hajieva from Azerbaijan was so "excited" that she announced
Azerbaijan was on fire at that very moment when they were discussing
the issue. And those who burned her country were the Armenians. Hajieva
did not miss the chance to say that "Armenia has occupied 20% of the
territory of Azerbaijan, uses the natural resources and burns the
Azeri forests".

Resolution 1480 was adopted with several amendments, that is to say,
the authorities of the Azeri delegates were confirmed.
