AZERBAIJAN WAITING FOR THE PACE DECISION
Support A1+!«I think the membership in PACE was an extremely significant event for the South Caucasian countries. Many thinks have been changed in our country for the last five years, but of course not everything, as five years is almost nothing for the establishment of democracy. In any case, the overall evaluation is positive», head of the Azeri delegation to PACE Samed Seidov said.
According to him, for the last five years Azerbaijan has managed to inform the European community about their problems, and has found the strength to correct the mistakes that were to be corrected for the establishment of democracy. As for the offer to deprive the Azeri delegation of the mandate, according to Seidov, that is not objective, «It is not the opinion of the CE but that of a number of delegates who are often efficient enough. Let us see what will happen next».
In two hours the Monitoring Committee and the Rules and Protocol Subcommittee will announce in the PACE session about its final decision about the Azeri delegation. One of the issues is that not a single oppositional deputy is included into the Azeri delegation.
The full text of the interview with the head of the Azeri delegation to PACE Samed Seidov will be published in the January 28 issue of the weekly newspaper «Ayb-Fe».
