Baku slams European Parliament's groundless resolution
The resolution adopted by the European Parliament on April 25 is groundless and openly misrepresents the human rights situation in Azerbaijan, Aykhan Hajizada, spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, told local media on Friday, News.Az reports.
The spokesman stressed that rubber-stamping such one-sided and biased resolutions has long become a usual business for the European Parliament.
“This cannot be considered other than an explicit political order by those forces in Europe that goes in the direction of further deteriorating relations with Azerbaijan,” he said.
Hajizada noted that in these conditions, a certain group of European Parliament members being guided by their internal considerations and personal gains pushes through a distorted picture of the situation in Azerbaijan.
“The motives of those who initiate the adoption of such documents are to divert attention from the truly pressing socio-economic and political problems of the European community as well.
Moreover, appeals to introducing sanctions against Azerbaijan, do nothing but complicate Azerbaijan-EU relations,” he added.
The spokesman once again urged the European Parliament to stop interference in the internal affairs and judicial processes of Azerbaijan.
