Atmosphere of compromise between Azerbaijani and Armenian parties emerges at Euronest meeting - Armenian MP

On Tuesday at a plenary meeting of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly in Baku Armenian lawmakers began to express protests and dissatisfaction with the condemnation of the aggressive policy of Armenia, Trend reports.

The delegation of the Armenian deputies said that it's dissatisfied with the fact that they are called fascists.

Azerbaijani MP Fuad Muradov responded by saying that during the Baku meeting nothing new has been said.

"We stand by our positions on the issues that we raised in Strasbourg, Brussels and Washington, and our position is confirmed by international documents," Muradov said.

He called on European lawmakers not to allow interference in the assembly's work.

Another Azerbaijani MP, Malahat Ibrahimgyzy, said that international values and the rule of law should be mandatory for all.

"If we're talking about the rule of law, we must also note the international rule of law. There is no room for emotion. We refer to documents that have been adopted by such reputable organizations as the UN, the European Union and the OSCE. Let them express their dissatisfaction with these documents, not speeches," she said.

MP Azer Karimli said that until the Nagorno-Karabakh is resolved and the occupied lands are returned, cooperation between Azerbaijan and Armenia under the Eastern Partnership is impossible.

The head of the Armenian delegation, Vahan Hovhannisyan, spoke finally in a different way.

"After intense discussion at the Euronest meeting, an atmosphere of compromise between the Azerbaijani and Armenian deputies emerged. This is favorable position between two countries experiencing tensions. I hope that the present favorable position between the deputies of the two countries will create a compromise between the two countries. And it helps a constructive resolution of tensions," he said.

The second session of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly opened in Baku on Monday.
