PanARMENIAN.Net - During a joint press conference with Lithuanian
Foreign Minister Audronius Ažubalis in Yerevan on April 5, Armenia's
top diplomat Edward Nalbandian commented on Azerbaijan's President
Ilham Aliyev's racist statements at Euronest session in Baku
"Azerbaijan's statements discredit the UN Security Council," Nalbandian
said. "The Council of Europe once adopted a document particularly
specifying Azerbaijan as a country which regularly voices such
shameful claims."
"A country making such declarations increases the tension in the
region; a country which boosts its armament aiming to destabilize
the situation, and dubs a whole nation as its enemy discredits the
Security Council of UN by its mere presence in the organization,"
Minister Nalbandian stated.
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.
