Baku. Mubariz Aslanov – APA. “The Armenian delegation transmitted information to Armenia from Baku that they are allegedly harassed, not allowed to make speeches and generally kept in prison-like conditions in Azerbaijan,” First Vice-Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament, Head of the Azerbaijani Delegation to the NATO PA Ziyafat Asgarov said at the NATO PA 86th Rose-Roth Seminar titled “South Caucasus: Challenges and Opportunities”, APA reports.
He said it was revealed how the Armenian MPs transmitted this information: “However, what have the participants witnessed? The Armenian MPs are acting as freely in Baku as they aren’t in Armenia. They are talking about whatever they want, even interrupting others’ speeches, walking around Baku freely. Apparently, the aim of provocative information transmitted by the Armenians is completely different and disgusting”.
Asgarov recalled the Armenians’ pressure on the Azerbaijani parliamentarians at the meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation held in Yerevan last year: “The Azerbaijani MPs were not allowed to deliver speeches at that seminar”.
