YEREVAN, OCTOBER 4, ARMENPRESS: The Azerbaijani media is again trying
to burn a fire around the name of the Commissioner for Human Rights
of Moldova Aurelia Grigoriu. As reported by Armenpress, quoting the
Azerbaijani APA, the agency published the interview with the notorious
Ombudswoman, in which she stated that she will never visit Armenia
again. To the question "If Armenia organized an event on human rights,
will you come to this country?"
she said: "I will never go to this country again. They are very
"hospitable". I will attend the International Humanitarian Forum in
Baku on October 30".
During her report "The protection of human rights and security in
"frozen conflicts" areas" made at the National Assembly of Armenia on
July 3-4 in the framework of the Pan-European Conference "The European
Standards of Rule of Law and the Scope of Discretion of Powers in the
Member States of the Council of Europe", the Parliamentary Advocate
of the Republic of Moldova Aurelia Grigoriu made a statement, which
does not have any connection to the reality.
She announced that "Armenia occupied 20% of the Azerbaijan's territory
and the Khojalu Genocide was implemented by the Armenians". The
Parliamentary Advocate of the Republic of Moldova called Armenia "an
aggressor country". This statement received negative reaction both
in Armenia and Moldova. Many political and public figures condemned
Grigoriu's statement considering it provocative.
Later it was found out that two weeks before coming to Yerevan, the
Parliamentary Advocate of the Republic of Moldova Aurelia Grigoriu
was in Baku. The Facebook photos and posts of Aurelia Grigoriu were
spread in the Internet, where the "incorruptible" and "objective"
lawyer was expressing her love towards Azerbaijan. After the scandal
the photos and posts were operatively deleted from the Facebook page
of Aurelia Grigoriu. The Ombudsman of Moldova expressed his regret
to Karen Andreasyan in the connection with the Aurelia Grigoriu's
statement, noting that the position of the National Institute for the
Defense of Human Rights in the Republic of Moldova does not reflect
her opinion on that delicate issue.
Later on the Azerbaijani "Heydar Aliyev" foundation announced that
human rights defender in Moldovan parliament, lawyer Aurelia Grigoriu
has been awarded with golden medal "Heydar Aliyev" "for supporting
the policy of Turkic states, merit in the protection of human rights
and moving forward the Azerbaijani realities in the whole world".
"Heydar Aliyev" prize in Azerbaijan is awarded to "those figures
who supported the friendship of Turkic states, had contribution in
development of economy, social-political and cultural spheres of Turkic
states". In different times with above-mentioned medal were awarded
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov,
former President of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev and Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
