Kazakhstan, Astana / corr. Trend K.Konirova / The Head of the
Azerbaijani delegation to the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary
Assembly (PACE), Samad Seyidov, informed Trend Special Correspondent
in Astana that Azerbaijan has repeatedly sustained policy of double
standards by the international organizations.

He stressed that the territories of Azerbaijan have been occupied
by the Armenian military forces and the international community
knows it. "However, unfortunately, we observe that the international
organizations try to approach this conflict in other manner," he said.

Touching up on the statement of the Speaker of the Senate of the
Kazakhstan Parliament, Kasim-Jomrat Tokayev that "fatal mistakes have
been made in the sphere of non-proliferation of the nuclear weapons,
as well as in ambiguity and double standards", Seyidov said that
all aspects mentioned by Tokayev are actual. Azerbaijan is worried
by this process because it happens close by. Therefore, the position
of Azerbaijan is that this problem should be resolved only under the
aegis of the International Atomic Energy Agency within the framework of
international laws and norms. The Head of the Azerbaijani delegation
said that following the international rules may ensure the security
of not only Caucasus region, but also of the world.
