PanARMENIAN.Net - Summing up the results of Baku visit, Vahan
Hovhannisyan, head of the Armenian delegation to Euronest Parliamentary
Assembly briefed the journalists on his experience of communicating
with ordinary Azerbaijanis.
"I saw no willingness to fight or die for the remote Armenian
mountains," he said.
Hovhannisyan also mentioned the perfect reception of Armenian
delegation by Azerbaijani side, in particular, professional and
friendly attitude of the security and the service staff.
Head of Armenian delegation said Armenian representatives were isolated
from reporters in Baku; however, "using revolutionary tricks", he
managed to give an interview to an Azerbaijani TV channel.
Anyway, Hovhannisyan said he was not sure whether the interview will
be allowed into air.
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.
