    KAMBECK:MR. SULEYMANOV IS NOT KNOWN TO BE A RELIABLE SOURCE IN BRUSSEL

    Monday,
    July 15

    During a talk with the correspondent of Aysor.am in Strasbourg,
    Secretary General of European Friends of Armenia organization Dr.

    Michael Kambeck has commented on the statement of Azerbaijani
    parliamentary deputy Elhan Suleymanov to the effect that the European
    Parliament took a decision not to send an Election Observation Mission
    (EOM) to monitor the upcoming presidential elections in Azerbaijan.

    "Mr. Suleymanov is not known to be a reliable source in Brussels. His
    unfactual comments on Safarov already damaged the credibility of
    Azerbaijan. I must say that normally countries are proud to welcome
    such EOMs and it is the first time that I hear such a strange and
    illogical explanation as a response to being denied an EOM.

    The European Parliament's decision on this issue is not yet final,
    but it is clear that it is a difficult choice. The EP can only chose
    a limited number of Election Observation Missions (EOMs) per year
    and each year it has to decline several requests. In this situation,
    would you send a mission to Azerbaijan, where the content of the
    mission report is clear already today, after so many and such drastic
    violations in Human Rights und Democracy? The EP generally sends its
    EOMs to countries where these missions can make a difference and help
    democracy. According to our sources in the EP, most MEPs rather gave
    up for these elections in Azerbaijan and want to give a different
    country the chance to prove itself. I guess Mr. Suleymanov simply did
    not want to express this evident embarrassment. But Azerbaijan will
    be able to prove itself to the much larger OSCE EOM", Dr. Kambeck said.
