The vice chair of the European Parliament’s liberal ALDE group Norica Nicolai spoke to EURACTIV’s Senior Editor Georgi Gotev and was asked if Azerbaijan unfairl

"Yes, Armenian lobbies have a big influence. I remember that when I went to organise a meeting with people coming from Nagorno-Karabakh, internally displaced persons, they could not obtain visas from the French embassy in Baku to come to this house and give testimony about what happened after they had to leave Nagorno-Karabakh. I consider this as something done by an Armenian lobby.

Unfortunately, many European countries react according to this lobby, they don’t want to see what’s happened in the area. Right now, Azerbaijan is not in a very good situation: it is between Turkey and Russia. It’s a new republic and we need to support it, according to the people’s will," Nicolai said.
