Confrontation occurs between Azerbaijani and Armenian MPs at Euronest meeting

Azerbaijani MPs Azay Guliyev, Rovshan Rzayev and Faraj Guliyev have been on a visit to Armenia since Feb. 21 to participate at the meeting of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly’s Committee on Social Affairs, Education, Culture and Civil Society.

A serious confrontation occurred between Azerbaijani and Armenian MPs at the meeting. The reason of the confrontation was a speech of Azerbaijani MP Azay Guliyev. In his speech, Guliyev spoke about the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenians, existence of 1 mln refugees and the damage to Azerbaijan caused by the war, as well as Armenia’s non-constructive position. This speech drove the Armenian MPs wild. They called it as the next stage of Azerbaijan’s propaganda. The sides were calmed after the interference of the meeting’s organizers. The MPs are in Yerevan now. Armenian mass media headlined the confrontation between the MPs of both countries.
