The fact that the meeting of the Political Affairs Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe was held in Baku is very important for raising the awareness of the representatives of 46 countries about Azerbaijan’s stance, chairman of the Milli Majlis standing committee on international relations and interparliamentary ties, head of the delegation of Azerbaijan to the PACE Samad Seyidov said in his report.

He pointed out that there was an option to hold the meeting in either Baku or Yerevan. However, the option in favor of Baku was considered more expedient. It is an indicator of Azerbaijan’s prestige and high-level ties within the organization.

The meeting brought together some 60 deputies and over 20 experts. During their official meetings, they witnessed big potential of Azerbaijan and that human rights protection and democracy development is in the focus of attention in Azerbaijan.
