YEREVAN.- No matter how severely Azerbaijan is criticized in European
structures it manages to present it positively inside the country,
head of Armenia's delegation to PACE Davit Harutunyan told journalists
on Tuesday.
"There are no representatives of opposition in the Azerbaijani
delegation. There can be no other opinion," he said.
Azerbaijan is engaged in lobbying activities in PACE, which is
ridiculous. It is odd to do it in an agency which is engaged in issues
related to democracy, he added.
According to Harutunyan, PACE delegates are concerned about
Azerbaijan's behavior.
Another Armenian delegate Naira Zohrabyan stressed that during the PACE
autumn session Azerbaijan was numerously criticized as non-democratic
state. It was also noted that Azerbaijani authorities are blocking
the visit of co-rapporteurs to the country.
