    Azerbaijani MPs are considering necessary protests against a recent
    European Parliament resolution, reports Azerbaijani news agency
    Trend News.

    "The structure adopted a resolution to pressure Azerbaijan in the
    resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Parliamentary Speaker
    Ogtay Asadov said.

    European parliamentarians are concerned over the deteriorating state
    of press freedom in Azerbaijan and denounce the arrest, prosecution
    and conviction of opposition journalists, reads the resolution posted
    on the organization's official Web site Dec. 17.

    According to Asadov, the Armenian diaspora played a special role
    in adopting the resolution. Asadov proposed introducing a protest
    statement on this issue.

    "The European Parliament's resolution is groundless," Vice Speaker
    Valeh Alasgarov said. "It is surprising that so far the European
    Parliament has not adopted any resolution concerning the Azerbaijani
    people that became refugees and IDPs due to Armenia's policy of
    invasion. "

    He added that parliament should show its position toward the European
    Parliament's resolution.

    "We should work with friendly, as well as unfriendly forces to
    avoid the introduction of such resolutions," International and
    Inter-Parliamentary Relations Commission Chair Samad Seyidov said.
