Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s hysterical reaction at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) session was natural, since he did not have a clear answer to the European MP’s query as to why journalists and bloggers are deprived of their liberty in Azerbaijan.
Non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia Party National Assembly Faction Secretary Naira Zohrabyan, who is also a member of the Armenian delegation to PACE, told the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
“It was apparent that this PACE session would be held with accusations against Azerbaijan, and I had noted that, after Russia, the international organizations will seriously deal with Azerbaijan,” she added.
As per Zohrabyan, it is obvious that Azerbaijan will no longer be able to cover up this antidemocratic situation with “caviar” politics. Consequently, the mood at the PACE session was anti-Azerbaijani.
“I believe it is understandable that the Armenian delegation’s decision was very accurate to discuss the questions with the European colleagues and to pose the questions to Aliyev and [Azerbaijani FM Elmar] Mammadyarov with their help,” Naira Zohrabyan specifically noted.
