The PACE spring session can be the last one for Azerbaijan. The
menace of being sacked from EU looms in front of Azerbaijan.
Gyultekin Gajieva, member of the EU Azerbaijani delegation, has said
about it in the Azerbaijani press. According to the delegate, this
kind of development of events is quite possible, as Azerbaijan has
not met the commitments taken upon before the EU.
At present the EU attention is centered at the necessity of creating
an Azerbaijani national television, setting free of all the political
prisoners without exception, eliminating corruption which has reached
terrible volumes, and introducing changes into the â~@~Electoral
Codeâ~@~].
Neither has Azerbaijan achieved any success in the field of human
rights, so the assassination of the famous journalist Elmar Huseynov
can cause a lot of trouble for Azerbaijan. This fact is confessed by
both the Azerbaijani delegates of PACE, and the officials, and the
delegates of the Azerbaijani Parliament.
The fear is enhanced by the fact that the Azerbaijani Government
has no time for amendments. During a month they will not manage to
set free hundreds of political prisoners and to create a national
television. These will be possible in autumn at best. But in the EU
they already hint that the last straw is near.
