ArmInfo. Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan
has sent a letter to President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
OSCE Joao Soares.

The press service of the National Assembly of Armenia reports that Vice
Speaker of the Milli Mejlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan, the head of the
Azeri delegation to PA OSCE Bahar Muradova spoke on behalf of PA OSCE
during the opening of the 32nd plenary session of the
Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the CIS.

The Speaker of the Armenian parliament says in the letter that during
the opening of the CIS Inter- Parliamentary Assembly, the head of the
Azeri delegation to OSCE PA made an inexplicable statement on behalf of
the OSCE PA instead of an opening speech and tried to present distorted
facts on the Karabakh conflict. It is inadmissible that the MP
representing one of the parties to the Karabakh conflict uses the OSCE
PA opening speech to spread a lie about Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
The OSCE PA has always contributed to the Karabakh peace process. It is
proved by the balanced activity of Special Representative of OSCE PA
Chairman for Nagorno-Karabakh Goran Lennmarker. "I consider such step
of the OSCE PA representative inadmissible and I hope that the
Parliamentary Assembly will not change its direction", he says.
