Head of Azeri delegation to PACE sends letter to Assembly`s president
Baku, November 10 (AZERTAC). Head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Samad Seyidov has sent a letter to President of the PACE Mevlut Cavusoglu concerning Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s remarks over ethnic noncompliance of Azerbaijanis and Armenians.
Last month Sargsyan told journalists of the Armenian diaspora that the Armenian nation was a level higher than other peoples including Azerbaijanis, whom he called “the migrating Turkic-Muslim tribes”.
Seyidov characterized the Armenian president’s remarks as what illustrated Armenia’s “unconcealed racist ideology and religious prejudices”
“It is not the first time that Armenian high-ranking officials make statements that openly promote the outrageous ideas of ethnic differentiation, which are contrary to the fundamental principles of international law as well as to the moral and ethical principles of humanity,” said Seydiov.
He recalled former Armenian president Robert Kocharyan’s statement about “ethnic incompatibility between Armenians and Azerbaijanis”, which produced justifiable indignation within the international community.
Seyidov said there was no alternative other than to put an end to the illegal occupation of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan, to denounce Armenia`s territorial claims towards neighboring nations.
Seyidov also said he believed the PACE President will closely watch the development of the issue and take relevant measures to prevent such actions and statements, which are not acceptable for the member countries.
