11 April 2008 15:33 (UTC +04:00)

Seyidov noted that Lord Russell-Johnston, head of Subcommittee felt bad while observing presidential elections in Armenia on February 19 and he was taken to London.
â€œHis condition is normal now, but it was not determined whether he will attend the session or notâ€, he said.
To him, meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani delegation is undecided because of this reason. He stated that all issues were priorities for Azerbaijan in the session.
â€œWe are anxious about tendencies in the Council of Europe. There are double standards on Presidential elections in Armenia and unconstructive position in respect to Azerbaijan will be stressed in the session. Nobody refuses that there are several problems in Azerbaijan. All countries face these problems in transitional period. Such problems should not be exaggerated in Azerbaijan. We are ready for constructive dialogue, but constructiveness should be mutual. Why are the discussions normal with Venice Commission? The two sides are constructive. Azerbaijan should not accept unilateral relationsâ€, he said.
Seyidov added that representatives of GUAM member countries would meet within the framework of the session and they would exchange views.
