The participation of Armenian parliamentarians in the “Rose Roth”
seminar of NATO Parliamentary Assembly to be held in Baku in November
depends on the decision to be adopted by the Milli Majlis
(Azerbaijan’s parliament).
AssA-Irada — This statement was made by Araz Azimov, Deputy Foreign
Minister also the Azerbaijani President’s special envoy on Karabagh
issue. Azimov noted that the Azerbaijani MPs’ position will play a
particular role in impeding the visit by Armenian parliamentarians to
Baku as well.

“The Azerbaijani parliament is the organizer of the seminar and
should express its position on the matter,” said Azimov, adding that
Armenians won’t be able to attend the seminar if Azerbaijani
parliamentarians reject their participation.
