Not all the European institutions demonstrate the same approach as the European Commission in supporting the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process, President Ilham Aliyev said addressing the European Political Community Summit in Yerevan via a video link.
The head of state said that among such institutions are the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
Ilham Aliyev recalled that Azerbaijan has been a member of the Council of Europe since 2001, and until January 2024 no restrictions had been imposed on its national delegation.
"By the way, I, then the head of the Azerbaijani delegation and a member of parliament, was one of the active members of PACE. Our delegation was never under any restrictions in the Council of Europe until January 2024. In September 2023, Azerbaijan put an end to separatism in Karabakh. We ourselves implemented four United Nations Security Council resolutions adopted in 1993 and remained on paper for 30 years. Four months after that, PACE imposed sanctions on our delegation," Ilham Aliyev said.
