According to APA, Seyidov characterized the Armenian presidentâ€™s statement that the Armenian nation is a level higher than other peoples including Azerbaijanis, whom he called "the migrating Turkic-Muslim tribes", as remarks, which are illustrative of Armeniaâ€™s unconcealed racist ideology and religious prejudices.

It is not the first time that Armenian high-ranking officials make statements that openly promote the outrageous ideas of ethnic differentiation, which are contrary to the fundamental principles of international law as well as to the moral and ethical principles of humanity, said Seydiov and reminded about the Armenian former president Robert Kocharyanâ€™s statement about â€œethnic incompatibility between Armenians and Azerbaijanisâ€, which produced justifiable indignation within the international community. Seyidov said there is no alternative other than to put an end to the illegal occupation of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan, to denounce its territorial claims towards neighboring nations.

In the end of the letter Seyidov said he believed the PACE President will closely watch the development of the issue and take relevant measures for prevention of such actions and statements not acceptable for the member countries.
