PACE decides not to reconsider the credentials of Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation

APA reports the Assembly as saying "Co-operation between the Council of Europe and Azerbaijan remains essential for the development of democracy, rule of law and respect for human rights in this country."

PACE therefore decided not to reconsider the credentials of the Azeri parliamentary delegation and requested the Monitoring Committee to follow closely developments in the country.

Progress report on the honouring of obligations and commitments by Azerbaijan will be presented at the spring 2007 part-session.
