Baku urges Belgium to take firm stance on Karabakh issue

Members of the Belgium-Azerbaijan interparliamentary friendship group met with the vice speaker of Azeri parliament Ziyafet Askerov in Baku.

“Belgium must take a firm stance in Karabakh settlement, thus signalling Europe’s determination to abandon double standards in the issue,” Askerov said at the meeting, noting Europe’s position as biased.

The head of Belgian delegation, in turn, expressed hope for peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict.
