IN AZERBAIJAN THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID SANCTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE
The political elite of Azerbaijan has comprehended that under the existing regime their country will hardly avoid sanctions from the part of the Council of Europe. The newspapers being published in Baku have already started to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions for non-fulfillment of the undertaken liabilities. The people close to the politics have understood the seriousness of the situation after the session of the PACE monitoring committee held recently in Paris, during which the report on fulfillment of the liabilities undertaken by Azerbaijan prepared by the members of the committee was discussed.
