BAKU DEMANDS THAT PACE DENOUNCE ELECTION IN KARABAKH

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Parliament of Azerbaijan has passed a statement addressed to the PACE, defining the parliamentary election to be held in Nagorno Karabakh July 19 as «political sabotage by Armenians,» reported Mediamax. The Azeri Parliament demands that the PACE denounce the parliamentary election in Nagorno Karabakh. «Unfortunately, representatives of some Council of Europe member states, MPs will take part in the election as observers. Such actions by CoE members are at least a demonstration of public disrespect of Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We consider presence of representatives of CoE member states at the election inadmissible due to running counter to the principles of that organization,» the statement says.
