15 April 2008 [11:01] - TODAY.AZ
Presidential elections in Armenia, processes, occurring before and after the voting, created tenseness in the South Caucasus, along with causing anxiety of the Council of Europe and other international organizations.
The due announcement was made by member of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation Ganira Pashayeva, during discussions of presidential elections in Armenia in PACE.

"The most frustrating is that official Yerevan held elections of Armenian President in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan, in particular, in Nagorno Karabakh, Lachin and Kelbajar. Thus, Armenia demonstrated once more that it does not fulfill commitments, undertaken before the Council of Europe on the peaceful resolution of the conflict by violating the principles of international norms", said Pashayeva.

The Azerbaijani parliamentarian informed the European parliamentarians that the Armenian authorities for the purpose of distracting attention of the world society from internal situation, connected with emergency state and strict attitude of the world society, undertook the provocation. Thus, Armenians tried to attack the Azerbaijani armed forces and Azerbaijani civilians from positions in the occupied lands on March 4. Pashayev said casualties were reported.

"The civilians, who work in their gardens and on the fields, become targets of Armenian snipers", said she.

At the same time, the parliamentarian asked PACE to demand from Armenia to stop the steps, which have a negative impact on the peaceful negotiations around the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution.

"Tenseness in the South Caucasus is a threat for the whole Europe", said she.
