Samad Seyidov: Azerbaijan does not object to any international missionâ€™s visit to our country

Working Group functions in Azerbaijan efficiently and appointment of the rapporteur will not be in the favor of the situation, head of Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation to PACE Samad Seyidov told the APA.
He said that he does not believe that taking such step will cause constructive achievement in this direction.
â€œI do not believe that there will be constructive achievement with such step. I regard that the pardon decree signed by the head of the state is very large, thorough, humanist step. Most of the imprisoned journalists were released under pardon decree. This decree will have very positive, great influence. All international organizations, as well as Council of Europe expressed its position to this pardon decree,â€ he said.
Samad Seyidov responding to the question â€œWho Azerbaijani delegation wants to see in the post of PACE President?â€ stated that discussions on this direction continue.
â€œCE has not yet defined who will participate in the elections. Any countryâ€™s making decision on it would not be better, as CE has not yet made a decision on it,â€ he said.
Samad Seyidov commenting on the change of the format of mission on the protection of cultural-historical monuments in South Caucasus noted that Azerbaijani side does not object to any international missionâ€™s visit to our country.
â€œVisit to any country, as well as visit of this mission should be carried out in the framework of adopted international rules. There are principles of the organization of the visit, and one of them is that those who want to visit Nagorno Karabakh-the area which is out of the control of our country should pass there from the area which is under control of Azerbaijan. We do not accept the other variants. We do not create any problem,â€ he said. /APA/
