Azerbaijani parliamentarians Musa Guliyev and Asef Hajili held a
press conference dedicated to their participation in the 27th plenary
session of the Parliamentary Assembly of Organization of the Black
Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) in Yerevan (APA).
The parliamentarians said Azerbaijani media did not fairly covered
their visit to Armenia and even made false information about that.
They refuted the reports that Azerbaijani parliament speaker Oghtay
Asadov sent congratulations to the newly elected Armenian parliament
speaker Tigran Torosyan. Hajiyev accused some pro-opposition papers
of playing into Armenians' hands.
`The pro-opposition papers exaggerated disinformation of Armenian
press. The authors of these stories have links with Armenians and
back them,' the parliamentarian said.
Hajiyev said it was important to attend the event in Armenia related
to Azerbaijan's taking over the presidency of the organization.
`Azerbaijan took over the presidency from Armenia in this event. If
we did not attend it they would have proclaimed to the world that
Azerbaijan boycotted the international organization's work,' he said.
He noted the next sitting of the organization will take place in
Azerbaijan in November this year, `We have invited the Assembly
participants to the meeting in Azerbaijan.'
Guliyev said some media outlets made false reports on their visit to
