Azerbaijan slammed the door to EuroNest
The representative of Azerbaijan in EuroNest Elkhan Suleymanov sent messages to the leadership of the European Parliament, the OSCE, the PA OSCE, the Council of Europe and the entire MEP.
The text of the statement also sent to the media contained allegations that the European Parliament since the summer was preparing a "provocation" and "riots".
"Back in July, the European Parliament did not include Azerbaijan in the number of countries where it was planned to send an observer mission. We thought that EP decided not to send observers, given the lack of serious problems in the country.
Today, it is clear that even the July decision by the European Parliament was actually part of a secret plan to create hidden provocations and disturbances in Azerbaijan," says the statement.
Next, Suleymanov came to the point that, starting this political provocation, the European Parliament tried to harm Azerbaijan's international image.
" Permanent link by the European Parliament to OSCE ODIHR mission formed of minor officials was a manifestation of distrust and a serious blow to the European Parliament , PACE and PA OSCE."
Next Suleymanov resents the fact that the European Parliament ignores the positive conclusion of its own mission and takes the view of the ODIHR OSCE mission for the basis.
Delving deeper into the analysis of his own "intelligence", Suleymanov concludes that the purpose of all these provocations was the transformation of Azerbaijan into Syria or Libya. "However, the authors of these plans were wrong," he said.
At the conclusion of the appeal it is said that Azerbaijan rejects the 32nd point of the resolution of the European Parliament on 23 October and suspends its participation in the Parliamentary Assembly Euronest until "investigation and appropriate action" are committed.
It is noteworthy that the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry praised the first part of the same resolution, which refers to the need to resolve the Karabakh conflict, taking into account the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
