“For 30 years, we raised our voice in all European organizations, trying to convey the truth,” President Ilham Aliyev said during his meeting with the participants of international conferences in Baku, APA reports.
“I personally, back in 2001, was a deputy of the Milli Majlis and Azerbaijan became a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and I led the Azerbaijani delegation. When our delegation arrived there, first of all raised the issue that an end must be put to this injustice. And what were we demanding? We were not demanding that the Council of Europe go and fight against Armenia. We were demanding that a political decision be made. Call the aggressor an aggressor. Adopting a political decision is effectively a political assessment. They did not want to do this. No political assessment was made. On the contrary, they maligned us, tarnished our reputation, and this continues today. Look, now, as Azerbaijan grows stronger and brings its full potential to bear, a dirty Western media campaign is again being waged against us. That is, they seek to discredit us, publishing articles full of lies, slander and defamation about Azerbaijan every day.
Sanctions were not imposed on Armenia by the Council of Europe. But when we fully liberated Garabagh in September 2023, eradicated separatism and arrested the separatists, four months later the Council of Europe imposed sanctions against us. Look, this is their true face. The European Parliament is a nest of corrupt figures. I say this with full responsibility: the European Parliament is a nest of corrupt figures. Millions of dollars in suitcases were found in the house of its vice-president, and they covered it all up, as if it had never happened. Her name is known; she is a female deputy from Greece. How many years have passed since then? Has any measure been taken against her? No. Has she been held accountable? No. She was released. Look, the European Parliament consists of these Islamophobes, and this must always remain in focus,” the President noted.
