PanARMENIAN.Net - Vahan Hovhannisyan, head of the Armenian delegation
to Euronest Parliamentary Assembly said that Armenia is going to
raise the issue of Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev's notorious
statement at the Assembly's plenary session.
"We will address a letter [to Euronest management] comprising a general
estimate of the incident, as well as our speech at the session,"
he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to the Armenian delegation head, in particular, they will
propose not organize such events in Azerbaijan in order to prevent
similar incidents in future.
Armenian delegate Naira Zohrabyan told journalists that neither
a Euronest leader nor a member of a European delegation openly
criticized Aliyev.
However, many PA representatives and even Azerbaijani MPs, unnamed for
known reasons, approached the Armenian delegation after Azerbaijani
president's statement to voice their disagreement with Aliyev's words
and support the Armenians, Armenian representatives said.
On April 3, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev called Armenians
"fascists" during a plenary sitting of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly
in Baku. The statement sparked resentment of the Armenian delegation
which dubbed it improper and beyond diplomatic norms. Representative
of Euronest delegation and other countries also expressed discontent
with Aliyev's conduct.
Euronest inter-parliamentary union includes Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
