We put Armenians before fact during discussion of the first issue
`Forest fires in Europe: their environmental and ecological impacts’
at the final meeting of the summer session of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Ganira Pashayeva, member of
the Azeri delegation in PACE, told Trend.
The Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis also
participated in these discussions.
According to Pashayeva, the members of Armenian delegation Nermini
Nagdalyan and Tirgan Torasyan noted that Azerbaijani side complicates
the facts of forest fires in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
`They told as though Azerbaijani delegation lies, and the separatist
regime of Nagorno-Karabakh doesn’t need these fires. They accused
Azerbaijan in several aspects,’ told Pashayeva.
According to Pashayeva, after Armenian representative, Gultakin
Hajiyeva delivered a report and noted that Torasyan has not the moral
right to speak about the European values. `Because they themselves
don’t respect for these values. In my speech, I noted that 247352
ha forests of Azerbaijan are under the Armenian occupation. It forms
¼ of all Azeri forests. For more than ten years, Armenians have been
destroying fauna and flora in Azerbaijan’s occupied territories.
Azerbaijani sustains the ecological terror of Armenia,’ stressed
Pashayeva.
Besides, Pashayeva noted that Armenian deputies often remembered
`Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’, noting that this territory has no
relation with Armenia.
`I mentioned that Armenian officials hold talks preventing the
peaceful solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. I noted that Armenian
president Robert Kocharyan on May 8 of each year sends a
congratulation letter to the separatist regime on the occasion of
occupation day of Shusha. Besides, Armenian prime-minister Andanik
Margaryan and defense minister Serj Sarkisyan come to Shusha and
deliver a report before separatists,’ Pashayeva added.
