"Declarations of Azerbaijani side on a fierce fight with Armenian
representatives in PACE are populist, targeting the Azerbaijani
community".

The due announcement was made by David Arutyunan, head of Armenian
delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe,
introducing results of the PACE January session.

"The Azerbaijani delegation spreads information about its fierce fight
with the Armenian delegation in PACE and winning over Armenia in this
fight. Of course, this is a populist step, targeting the Azerbaijani
community", Arutyunan noted,

He said PACE should not be regarded as a ring, on which two delegations
are fighting against each other, while the remaining ones undertook
the role of judges.

"We have common problems, facing the Council of Europe and fixed
by three major principles, including human rights, democracy and
supremacy of law. PACE’s activity aims to settle these three tasks
and we see our participation in the activity of the Assembly in this
very aspect", Arutyunan said.
