Ministry of Youth and Sports Minister considered it necessary to
refuse to participate in Yerevan Youth Forum of the fourth Eastern
Partnership Platform.
"We did not bother to go and take part in the forum due to Armenia's
continued refusal to participate in our activities under the pretext of
alleged threats to its security from Azerbaijan's part", spokesperson
for the ministry Samaya Mammadova said.
In particular, Azerbaijan sent an invitation to Armenia to participate
in meetings of the Sports Ministers of the Council of Europe and the
Youth Council of CIS member states.
"At the same time Azerbaijan has always ensured the safety of all
participants of the events", said Mammadova.
As an example, she cited the fact of participation of Armenian athletes
in the world championship in Baku and "the security was provided at
the highest level."
Mammadova recalled the refusal of Armenia to participate in the
international song contest "Eurovision 2012" in Baku for the same
invented reason
According to her, Armenia is not interested in regional cooperation.
"In this view we have also refused to attend the event in Yerevan",
she said.
