Azerbaijan's Trend news agency spread misinformation about "adoption
of a written declaration in PACE which strictly condemns the killing
of the 13-year-old Azerbaijani child by Armenians." According to
the agency, "the draft declaration was prepared by member of the
Azerbaijani delegation Ganira Pashayeva, and the declaration was
signed by MPs from various countries represented in PACE, and was
issued as an official document."
However, this information does not correspond to reality, and
indeed, the provocative declaration by Ganira Pashayeva, which was
not an official document, was only signed by Azerbaijani MPs and
their Turkish colleagues, a total of around 20 people. Naturally,
PACE could not adopt an official document which blames the Armenian
side for the killing of an Azerbaijani child, who indeed died under
unknown and dubious circumstances, with the investigation into the
incident still unclosed in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijani media tried to use the very trick yesterday when they
spread misinformation about "adoption of a declaration in PACE which
strictly condemns the municipal elections in Nagorno-Karabakh." In this
case, however, Trend referred to the declaration by Ganira Pashayeva
as a document signed by certain MPs (again Azerbaijani and Turkish)
and did not invent the status of "PACE official document."
