    Mili Majlis accuses European Parliament of attempt of damaging to
    country's image

    Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Yesterday the Azerbaijani parliamentarians passed
    a statement to the European Parliament in connection with its Human
    Rights Resolution on Azerbaijan from 17 December 2009.

    When presenting the statement MP Nizami Iskanderov called the
    Resolution biased.

    In the statement Milli Majlis regards the Resolution as an attempt to
    damage to international image of Azerbaijan that is a democratic
    country.

    `The European Parliament's Resolution in respect to Azerbaijan has
    caused our concern and regret. Azerbaijan co-operates with the
    European Union and gives preference to democratic values. Protection
    of human rights is one of the priority goals of our country. Nobody
    can make us to take the wrong turning from this way. Our future is
    linked with democratic development. We hope that when considering
    issues relating to Azerbaijan, the European Parliament will not take
    separate exceptions as a basis,' the statement says.

    A ground for the Resolution passed by the European Parliament was
    conviction of two bloggers in Azerbaijan, and Milli Majlis emphasizes
    injustice of such approach against the background of international
    community's disregard to Nagorno Garabagh conflict consequences (1
    million of refugees evicted from places of their permanent residence
    following occupation of part of Azerbaijani territory by Armenia).

    `Each ninth citizen of Azerbaijan is a refugee and internally
    displaced person. It is to be regretted that so far the world
    community has not defined itself unambiguously how to treat with the
    aggressor and with the victim of aggression. Despite existing
    injustice we keep on our efforts on peaceful settlement of Karabagh
    problem,' the statement says.
