Ali Hasanov: I think from now on we should speak to the Europeans a different language

Ali Hasanov noted that he received the OSCE observation mission during the elections.
â€œI told them that the Europeansâ€™ opinion on the independent states, their citizens does not differ from their opinion about the Soviet state, its citizens 30 years ago. But why? Does Azerbaijanisâ€™ level of development fall behind the one of the Europeansâ€™? No, it doesnâ€™t. The election ended, they have not prepared a statement yet, they have not come to conclusion. Some say letâ€™s write what were told. The others say we should write what we observed. I asked them whether they will write what they observed or write what they were told. They told me that I insulted them. I said I did not insult, but asked a simple question. One of the representatives of the previous mission told me that they can not write what they observe. The present fact shows this. I think from now on we should speak to the Europeans a different language,â€ he said.
