Ganira Pashayeva, member of the Azerbaijani Parliamentary Delegation
to PACE, during the Assembly’s session, distributed amongst
parliamentarians a document called "Armenia’s behavior increases
tension".
The document says "Armenian authorities, violating the norms of
international law held presidential elections in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan, too. This contradicts the country’s
obligations before the Council of Europe (CoE), and damages the
negotiation process to achieve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
To divert the international community’s attention from the February 19
presidential election, which aroused internal crisis in the country,
the Armenian Armed Forces launched violent attacks against Azerbaijani
Armed Forces and innocent people.
The Armenian authorities proved that they do not honor the UN and
CoE resolutions. The Council of Europe must increase its efforts to
prevent such actions and take appropriate measures".
The document was submitted to the CoE Secretariat after it was signed
by parliamentarians from Italy, Lithuania, Germany, Moldova and Turkey.
The PACE Bureau will accept a decision regarding the document.
