Armenian MP: "Declarations of Azerbaijani side about a fierce fight with Armenian representatives in PACE are populist"

"Declarations of Azerbaijani side on a fierce fight with Armenian representatives in PACE are populist, targeting the Azerbaijani community".

The due announcement was made by David Arutyunan, head of Armenian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, introducing results of the PACE January session.

"The Azerbaijani delegation spreads information about its fierce fight with the Armenian delegation in PACE and winning over Armenia in this fight. Of course, this is a populist step, targeting the Azerbaijani community", Arutyunan noted,

He said PACE should not be regarded as a ring, on which two delegations are fighting against each other, while the remaining ones undertook the role of judges.

"We have common problems, facing the Council of Europe and fixed by three major principles, including human rights, democracy and supremacy of law. PACE's activity aims to settle these three tasks and we see our participation in the activity of the Assembly in this very aspect", Arutyunan said.
