Azerbaijan demands Armenia's expulsion from the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly. As APA reports, Head of the Azerbaijani Delegation to
the NATO PA Ziyafat Asgarov presented an appropriate proposal at the
ongoing 86th Rose Roth Seminar of the NATO PA entitled "South Caucasus:
Challenges and opportunities" in Baku. Asgarov substantiated the
proposal with alleged "terrorist attacks committed by Armenians in
Azerbaijan." He claims that cooperation of such "a terrorist state
with NATO is unacceptable".
"NATO cut off the relations with Russia and deprived Russia of
the right to vote in NATO PA for two years. And why isn't Armenia
withdrawn from the assembly in exchange for the occupation and
terrorism? Therefore we demand from NATO PA to clarify this issue
once and for all," he said. Head of Armenia's Delegation to NATO PA
Koryun Nahapetyan and Secretary of Heritage opposition party faction
Tevan Poghosyan represent Armenia at NATO PA's Rose-Roth seminar in
Baku on 16-18 June. The Armenian parliamentarians agreed to travel to
Baku only after official security guarantees by Azerbaijan. Head of
the Armenian Center for Regional Studies Richard Giragosian is also
in Baku to attend the event.
The activists picketed The Four Seasons Hotel where the Armenian
parliamentarians have arrived at. However, the police dispersed the
protest and confiscated anti-Armenian banners.
