    Baku. Lachin Sultanova -APA. Foreign minister of Azerbaijan Elmar
    Mammadyarov met with Romanian member of the European Parliament Adrian
    Severin on Wednesday.

    Press-service of the foreign ministry told APA, the guest said
    Azerbaijan was not only oil and gas producer, it was an important
    country for the European Union for its geopolitical location,
    dynamic economic development and as a possible contributor for
    the EU-Central Asian cooperation. Mammadyarov has agreed with that
    and said first report on Azerbaijan fulfilling the Action Plan for
    European Neighborhood Policy has been already prepared and integration
    process into Europe caused positive progress in a number of fields in
    the country. He urged to research opportunities for the establishing
    of GUAM friendship group in the European parliament. Then the sides
    exchanged opinions on the Nagorno Karabakh problem and condemned
    occupation of Azerbaijani lands and said that veiling of Armenian
    ethnic cleansing policy with the principle of self-determination was
    unacceptable. Romanian parliamentarian said that self-determination
    principle covered the peoples, but not the ethnic minorities and
    Armenian people are self-determined within Armenia. It was emphasized
    at the meeting to increase knowledge of members of the European
    Parliament about Azerbaijan, to organize their visits to Azerbaijan
    and to provide Lobbyist activity.
