YEREVAN, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS. Armenia's delegation's work in Euronest
Parliamentary session in Baku may be considered done, head of the
delegation Vahan Hovhannissyan told a news conference today.
"The first working day ended positively. I met with Azeri President
Ilham ALiyev who did not utter a word about Karabakh conflict. On
the second day using the opportunity of speech of the hosting state,
Ilham Aliyev accused Armenia in all the possible sins in front of
the European delegates and other guests. These were unprecedented
accusations and were a cold shower for all," Vahan Hovhannissyan said,
stressing that even some Azerbaijani delegates approached the Armenian
MPs and expressed inadmissibility of such behavior.
"Of course, the response of the Armenian side was not late: it was
spread in a written way and voiced orally," the head of the Armenian
delegation stressed, convincing that with his behavior Aliyev cast
a serious blow to his own country.
Speaking about the reception of the Armenian delegation, Vahan
Hovhannissyan convinced that Azerbaijani delegates, employees of
hotel and security bodies displayed themselves quite well.
"The only flaw though was the impossibility of meeting with reporters
caused because of absence of "freedom of speech" in that country.
Reuters' correspondent was asked to leave after few minutes, and two
Dutch journalists were not allowed to meet with Armenian delegates,"
Hovhannissyan said, adding that in any case they managed to give
interview to Azar-TV reporters but they should get permission for
broadcasting this interview.
