The prospect of Azerbaijan losing the mandate of Council of Europe member is already seen as something inevitable in Azerbaijan. According to "Zerkalo" newspaper information, to all appearance the question of depriving Azerbaijan of the European organization membership will already be decided at CE January session. Listing the possible causes of the sanctions the newspaper writes about "unpatriotic" behavior of some local non-governmental organizations that wash dirty linen in public. But member of Azeri delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Gulamguseyn Aliyev's opinion is different. He is inclined to consider the Azerbaijani Govenrment responsible for the present situation, as instead of fulfilling the demands of the CE to release political prisoners it is trying to deny the fact of their existence. The deputy notes it is not the sole requirement of the Europeans unfulfilled by the Government.
