“PACE’s biased position against Azerbaijan, accusing Azerbaijan of non-existent issues is inadmissible.” Deputy Hikmet Babaoglu said these words in his statement to SIA.
The deputy said that the decision taken by the Azerbaijani delegation regarding the limitation of its powers is contrary to both the PACE Charter and international law: “As a result, despite the fact that PACE is an organization created as a guarantor of rights and justice, it has constantly put pressure on the rights of Azerbaijan and tried to limit its sovereign rights. After Azerbaijan restored its territorial integrity, PACE has become an instrument of pressure of Islamophobic centers on Azerbaijan. I think that the Azerbaijani delegation operating in PACE made the right decision and suspended its activities indefinitely due to its biased position. Today, the Council of Europe By accusing Azerbaijan, the Parliamentary Assembly also hinders the achievement of peace in the region. In a way, it serves Macron’s thesis that “France will save Armenia”. The PACE office is located in Strasbourg, France. The pressure of the French state and Islamophobic centers from Europe is evident in their behavior. shows”.
“The lobbying of these states by some of the PACE members who were members of PACE in exchange for the support they received in various countries, disregarding international law and justice, was a sign that an illegal environment prevails in PACE. In fact, with this behavior towards Azerbaijan, PACE once again exposed. It became clear that it is not a harbinger of law, freedom and justice, but just a tool in the hands of some power centers in Europe. Rightfully, the Azerbaijani delegation acted like citizens of a proud, victorious country with this decision. The decision made was the best decision,” he said. he added.
