At today’s parliamentary meeting, MP Ganira Pashayeva has put forward a proposal to adopt a law regarding the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, noting the adoption of such a law in Georgia, APA reports.
Pashayeva said the bill should envisage a travel ban to Azerbaijan for persons, company representatives, foreign parliamentarians, who made illegal visits to Azerbaijan’s occupied territories. She mentioned that this is a topical issue in the background of the establishment of a friendship group with the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the European Parliament.
“I gave instructions in order to check the accuracy of information and it was said that such a decision hasn’t been passed officially. The European Parliament hasn’t passed a decision on establishment of a friendship group with the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic”, he said.
Head of the Azerbaijani Delegation to PACE Samed Seyidov stressed that Armenians may have certain initiatives in this regard, but the establishment of a friendship group with the so-called “NKR” in the European Parliament is impossible.
“With the support of the Armenian lobby, there are attempts to exert pressure on Azerbaijan. Today, Azerbaijan’s position is strong enough and we are able to prevent such attempts,” Seyidov said.
Asadov and Seyidov welcomed the latest decision of the CoE Congress of Local and Regional Authorities to include Azerbaijan in the list of countries suffering from separatism.
