    AZERBAIJAN PARLIAMENT ADOPTS APPEAL TO EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

    Trend
    Dec 25 2009
    Azerbaijan

    The Parliament of Azerbaijan adopted an appeal to the European
    Parliament. The paper says that Azerbaijan continues democratic
    state-building, respects human rights.

    In mid-December, the European Parliament adopted a statement, which
    contains criticism over the situation with human rights in Azerbaijan.

    The paper expresses concerns over the deterioration in the freedom
    of speech.

    "Like many countries passing the way of democratic development, there
    are some problems in Azerbaijan. The regrettable fact is that the
    entire world community knows which country is the occupier and which
    is under occupation. Despite this, Azerbaijan, as a state choosing
    path of democratic development, has always given preference to the
    settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict peacefully. Given all this,
    we protest against the European Parliament statement criticizing the
    human rights situation in Azerbaijan, and we hope that taking into
    account the interest of Azerbaijan in more strengthening relations
    with Europe, the European Union will not allow such kind of statements
    with regard to Azerbaijan in future," the document says.
