ALIYEV, BREAKING "RULES OF HOSPITALITY" CALLED ARMENIANS OCCUPANT AND FASCIST
http://www.yerkirmedia.am/?act=news&lan=en&id=6181
Today Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev diffused all the notions of
Caucasian friendly reception, who delivered a speech at the plenary
session of Euronest parliamentary assembly in Baku.
To note, yesterday the Euronest Bureau members met President Aliyev
where, according to Armenian Delegation Head in Euronest Vahan
Hovhannisyan, there were no unpleasant surprises.
Aliyev didn't even mention any disputable issue, he didn't even use
the expression "Nagorno-Karabakh". The European Parliament members
were rather interested in the issues of limitation of freedoms in
Azerbaijan.
But during today's plenary session even the European diplomats were
surprised at Aliyev's speech.
"During the plenary session, Aliyev made shocking aggressive
statements calling us fascists, occupants who have desecrated their
graves. Shortly, it was quite an awful speech. It is a break now
and we are not going to leave his statements not responded. We are
preparing documents now and we'll spread them here. We'll also address
the topic in our speeches.
Of course, we expected this, but even our European colleagues were
shocked. All expected that at least thanks would be extended for
the participation of the Armenian delegation," Vahan Hovhannisyan
said during his phone talk with Yerkirn Aysor [The country today]
TV programme.
Asked by us if Euronest leadership gave any response, Vahan
Hovhannisyan said there were some surprises, Armenia's visit to
Baku was positively stressed. Touching upon Aliyev's speech the EU
Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule said the problem has mutual
complexities.
"He spoke, rather tried to alleviate Aliyev's attempt to blame fully
Armenia, but it is natural that when you are a guest in a country and
you receive such an attitude you mustn't wait for others to respond. We
are all the hope and we aren't going to give up," V. Hovhannisyan said.
Aliyev didn't speak about searching for the solution of the problem
in this political platform, about the inadmissibility of which Vahan
Hovhannisyan said yesterday. He simply spoke as the Azerbaijani
President and with the style characteristic of him tried to raise
this issue here, too.
We'll be in contact with the Armenian delegation and will present
Armenian delegation's response and the future developments during
the day.
