NATO SEMINAR IN BAKU MARRED BY SCANDALS
18:17 16.06.2014
The Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations entered a dispute during the
NATO Rose Roth seminar in Baku. The statements of Armenian lawmakers
Koryun Nahapetyan and Tevan Poghosyan on the necessity to recognize
Nagorno Karabakh as a party to the talks caused a hysteric reaction
on the part of the Azerbaijanis.
In particular, Azeri MP Siyavush Novruzov noted that the international
community that recognizes the territorial integrity of Ukraine,
should recognize that of Azerbaijan, as well.
This was not the only scandal at the seminar. During the coffee break
human rights activist Leyla Yunus handed to the foreign participants
the text of the statement of the Center for resistance to repressions
with her supporters unfurling a banner reading "Freedom to the
prisoners of conscience."
"What European integration and stability are you speaking about, when
there are 130 victims of political violence in the country?" Yunus
said, adding that among them there are 40 prisoners of conscience,
90 political prisoners, 11 journalists and 4 human rights defenders.
