Azerbaijani caviar occupies PACE: Assembly to draft report on Karabakh
At the September 2 meeting of the Bureau of the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe (PACE) in Paris, a decision was made to file two
Azerbaijani draft resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to the PACE
Committee on Political Affairs that will draft a joint report. The report
was entitled "Rise in Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and Other Occupied
Territories of Azerbaijan." The draft resolutions were submitted at the
summer session of PACE.
Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian hysteria in the PACE gathered momentum after
Aliyev made adisgraceful speech
in the PACE,
"giving instructions" about the agenda the PACE should have.
Aliyev self-confidently declared that the issue of political prisoners in
Azerbaijan will not be debated by the PACE, instead the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue should be included in the agenda. It is worth remembering here that
"he who pays the piper calls the tune," in this case - the PACE agenda.
One of the draft resolutions was presented by member of the Azerbaijani
delegation to PACE Elhan Suleymanov.
Second, surprisingly, the authors were not the Azerbaijanis, but Greek MP
in PACE, former Foreign Minister of Greece Theodora Bakoyannis
who
has always been known for her pro-Azerbaijani position and has close
relations with Ilham Aliyev.
According to media reports, during the Azerbaijani President's visit to
Greece in the summer of 2014, Mrs Bakoyannis hosted a dinner at her home
for Aliyev, hoping to get the Azerbaijani President's support and to take
advantage of the fact that Azerbaijan seeks to export oil to Europe and to
become a member of the European Commission, taking the portfolio
of
Commissioner for Energy Affairs.
The Council of Europe, which was initially created for the protection of
human rights, democracy and rule of law, attempts to be involved in
political issues, being unable to resolve them, ignoring its top priorities
and turning a blind eye to the shameful situation regarding human rights,
democracy and rule of law first of all in Azerbaijan.
So this kind of morale emerged in the PACE where Azerbaijan definitely
bought a group of MPs ready to carry out Azerbaijan's "instructions" in
return for caviar and euros.
