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.
