“Today, I welcomed the President Ilham Aliyev's pardon decree on Novruz Holiday in my speech”, co-rapporteur of Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Azerbaijan Stefan Schennach told ONA’s Western Europe reporter.
“Many prisoners whose names we have heard in the Council of Europe for a long time ago have been released. This is a very positive phenomenon. That's why I think positive opinions are also voiced about Azerbaijan here”.
