COUNCIL OF EUROPE SHOULD IMPOSE SANCTIONS AGAINST ARMENIA, AZERI MILLI MEJLIS

Azerbaijan has received greater economic, political and democratic development in comparison with republics of Southern Caucasus, however “the questions causing our concern remain”, Azerbaijani Milli Mejlis Speaker Murtuz Aleskerov stated during the meeting with the co-rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on Azerbaijan Andreas Gross and Andres Herkel. In his words, “though Armenia has undertaken to assist peace settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, nevertheless, it does not fulfill the given promise”. The UN Security Council, the Council of Europe and other organizations adopted relevant resolutions connected with this conflict. But it is impossible to be content only with adoption of documents. “It is necessary to impose serious sanctions against the aggressor”, he said.
