AZERBAIJANI POLITICAL ANALYST: "OUR EUROPEAN MPS ARE THROWN MUD AT FOR DEFENDING NATIONAL INTERESTS"

Regnum, Russia
Oct 15 2006

REGNUM has received a statement made by Mubariz Ahmedoglu, Azerbaijani
political analyst, Head of the Center for Political Strategies and
Innovations (Baku). The statement contains his reaction to comment
made by David Babayan, political analyst from Nagorno Karabakh,
who spoke on reports that Azerbaijani female MPs at the PACE, as
a sign of protest against a decision by the French lower house of
parliament to introduce criminal punishment for refusal to recognize
the Armenian Genocide in 1915, called their female compatriots to
reject French-made goods and publicly refused to wear French-made
clothes. REGNUM publishes Ahmedoglu’s statement with minor abridgement.

"Motives of the attempt to throw mud at two European MPs Ganira
Pashayeva and Gyultekin Gadjyeva are evident: they both defend their
national interests from the high European rostrum and systematically
disclose lies of the official Yerevan. Pashayeva, speaking at PACE
about abandoning all French-made goods by Azerbaijani women, first
of all, meant make-up. If the fact cited in Babayan’s interview did
take place in reality, not only in the brain excited by hatred to
Azerbaijanis … let him prove his words by photo or video. I am sure,
he will not be able to do it, as well as to present his apologies.

There is a saying, ‘tell me who is your friend is, and I will tell
you who you are.’ Babayan, by his loathsome slander incompatible
with morality has once again shown the true face of chieftains of
the occupational regime in Nagorno Karabakh."

It is worth mentioning, the law that introduces criminal punishment
for refusal to recognize the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire
was adopted by the lower house of the French parliament on October 12.
