Azerbaijan considers unacceptable participation in the youth conference
under the Eastern Partnership held in Yerevan.
Armenia has repeatedly been invited to the international youth
activities held in Azerbaijan, but despite the fact that full guarantee
of safety was ensured, it refused to participate in them, spokesman for
the Ministry of Youth and Sport Samaya Mammadova told Trend on Tuesday.
"Armenia was invited to a meeting of the Council for the Youth of the
CIS member states, as well as a meeting of Sports Ministers of the
Council of Europe, which were held recently in Baku. It was given a
complete guarantee of safety. However, the Armenian side refused to
participate in these events. Armenia has also refused to participate
in the Eurovision-2012 Song Contest, which will be held in Baku in
May," Mammadova said.
Armenia, repeatedly citing as a reason security concerns, refused to
participate in various events held in Azerbaijan, she said. "But it
should be noted that during the world wrestling championship, which
took place in Baku, Armenian athletes security was provided at a high
level", said Mammadova.
Given all this, Azerbaijan considers it unacceptable to participate in
the youth conference under the Eastern Partnership, held in Yerevan,
said the spokesman.
In Yerevan on March 26-28 with the participation of young people in
Armenia, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine youth programs are
discussed at the conference held under the Eastern Partnership.
