PACE was criticized in Azerbaijan for not admitting its delegation

Official Baku strongly condemns the biased decision of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) regarding Azerbaijan. This was stated by Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov.

Bayramov called the reason for this position on the part of PACE the restoration by Azerbaijan of its sovereignty and territorial integrity in Karabakh.

“We must openly say that PACE has always had different opinions regarding the processes in our country. The Azerbaijani delegation, in accordance with this, expressed an adequate position,” the head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry emphasized.

Previously, PACE did not ratify the powers of the Azerbaijani delegation to the organization. The decision was made by 76 votes in favor and 10 against.
