The European Parliament has adopted 18 anti-Azerbaijani resolutions following the liberation of Azerbaijan’s territories from occupation, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Belgium and the European Union Mammad Ahmadzada said at the “Azerbaijan and the European Union: New Perspectives” forum in Brussels, Report informs.
The forum was co-organized by the Center of Analysis of International Relations (AIR Center) and the Egmont Royal Institute for International Relations.
Ahmadzada expressed bewilderment over the fact that during the 30 years of occupation of Azerbaijani lands, the European Parliament did not pass a single condemnatory document against the occupying country.
He added that following the restoration of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, restrictive measures were also taken against the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), describing it as a form of “punishment.”
According to the ambassador, the decision to suspend dialogue, partnership, and cooperation with the European Parliament was made by the Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan and falls under the exclusive competence of the country’s legislative branch.
