Baku / 16.05.18 / Turan: The Rules Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has sent a strong signal against the members Agramunt, Xucla, Preda and Seyidov and deprived them of their main rights for 2-10 years. This was written in his Twitter account by the head of the deputy group of the Social Democrats and Greens in the PACE, German deputy Frank Schwab.
Schwab also said that official information on the measures taken will be made public by the PACE on May 15.
Attempts by Turan to contact Samed Seyidov and get his comment were fruitless.
Recall that in late April in the PACE, a special report on the fight against corruption among deputies was widely discussed. In this document, it was noted that the Azerbaijani authorities spend millions of euros on bribery of European politicians, in order to minimize criticism for violations of human rights and democracy in Azerbaijan.
The most vivid example of this was the payment of 3 million euros to the Italian deputy Luca Volonte for the failure of the report of the German deputy Strasser about political prisoners in Azerbaijan.
Another lobbyist of the Azerbaijani authorities was the former head of the PACE, Pedro Agramunt, who was disgraced.
The report also mentioned the names of a number of European deputies who received bribes from the Azerbaijani authorities. At the same time, the Azerbaijani delegation to the PACE was accused of recruiting European deputies and illegally handing over money and gifts to them.
Official Baku did not give a clear answer to all these accusations, saying about another campaign of "pro-Armenian forces" against Azerbaijan. -16D-
