The Azerbaijan presidency of the parliamentary initiative of Southern
Caucasus and the organization Links have carried out in Baku a seminar
on the topic â"The Policy of the neighborhoodâ" of Azerbaijan and
Europeâ". Members of Parliament, representatives of diplomatic corps
functioning in the country, representatives of NGOs, heads of some
opposition parties have taken part in the seminar.
The president of group of the parliamentary initiative of Southern
Caucasus, deputy of Milli Majlis Siyavush Novruzov has noted value
of the seminar.
Ambassador of the Great Britain in Azerbaijan Lawrence Bristow in his
statement on behalf of the management of the European Union has noted,
that would be inappropriate to think of rendering to Azerbaijan,
which itself has defined the way of integration to Europe, any
pressure. Simply, European Union gives recommendations on this
question.
Vice-speaker of Milli Majlis Ziyafet Askerov, having stopped on
cooperation of the country with the international organizations, has
emphasized, that development of democracy, protection of human rights,
maintenance of freedom of speech and press, carrying out of free,
transparent and fair elections, integration into Europe and other
questions make a basis of policy carried out by our state, and has
told: â"The Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict creates
serious obstacles for integration of our country to Europe. The
aggressive policy of Armenia, free activity of terrorist groups on
territories of the aggressive state, cultivation on the occupied
Azerbaijan lands of narcotics and use of the given territories as
a transit with a view of narcotic business represent serious threat
for all Europe.
Speakers at the action dwelt on the problems, which have arisen
in our country as a result of aggressive policy of Armenia, and
double standards existing in the international community. They have
emphasized, that Azerbaijan is interested in integration into Europe
and pursues the policy of good neighborhood with all states. At the
same time, Armenia, continuing its aggressive policy, creates serious
problems for establishment of pace and calmness in region. With
feeling of regret it has been marked, that double standards existing
in the international community still interfere with fair settlement
of the conflict.
