Member of the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) Ganira Pashayeva on Saturday called
on the Council of Europe to criticize recent claims by the President
of Armenia.
"The control mechanisms of implementation of the documents should be
strengthened not only over the documents, which will follow, but also
over the documents that have been adopted by PACE so far. For example,
six years passed since PACE adopted the Resolution No. 1416, in 2005,
but this document still remains as a paper, and Armenia absolutely
refuses to fulfill this resolution."
"Today we have heard the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, but
Sargsyan said no word about when he is going to fulfill Assembly`s
Resolution No. 1416. On the contrary, he made the anti-PACE speeches
here. By Assembly`s decision the Sub-committee on Nagorno-Karabakh was
established, the Armenian delegation refuses to attend its meetings,
and the Armenian President supports his country delegation`s decision.
Thus, they display disrespect CE`s decisions, I think, our organization
should not neglect and remain indifferent, we should raise our voices
against it. The mechanisms of pressure and impact should be taken
for fulfillment of adopted resolutions and decisions."
"Unfortunately, in his speech the Armenian President spoke about
the alleged racism and Armeniaphobia in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a
tolerant country. If there is a problem of racism and Armeniaphobia in
Azerbaijan, then 30 thousand Armenians wouldn`t live here," Pashayeva
told a PACE plenary session.
"But if you go to Armenia just ask them to show you one Azerbaijani.
They won`t show you an Azerbaijani. Because due to ethnic cleansing
they expelled all Azerbaijanis, who were banished from their homes
and subsequently became the refugees."
She noted: "The Armenian President says that within Azerbaijan`s
territorial integrity the Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians want to
self-determine and live as an independent. That all contradicts to the
international principles, including the Council of Europe principles."
"Just think about it, what if all national minorities living in
European countries say we no longer live in this country and in the
territory of it we will establish our independent State. Then what
problems will rise in Europe and which tragedies will face the Europe?
Council of Europe should protect its values and principles as well
as fulfillment of its decisions and resolutions and CE should raise
its voice against such speeches," Pashayeva added.
