To Members of Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament
Honourable Presidents,
I want to bring to your attention a matter that can throw a grave shadow over the nature and objectivity of the European Parliament. I ask for your attention and answer on this issue.
Over the past years, the relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the European Union were supposed to see a rise in their quality, in the context of the Eastern Partnership Initiative of the EU. At parliamentary level, the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly was supposed to bring us closer. It is unfortunate, therefore, to see that the President of the European Parliament, Mr. Martin Schulz, is adopting a biased attitude against Azerbaijan. It casts a shadow over the whole EP.

I am grateful to you for your response to my letter dated September 2, 2014 calling on the world community to take urgent political, diplomatic, military and other measures in order to overcome terror acts, different kinds of violence and vandalism acts in Iraq and Syria, and other parts of the world.

Madrid, 30 October: Two very sensitive issues directly related to Azerbaijan were discussed in the PACE’s Legal Affairs Committee, meeting in the Spanish Parliament in Madrid. A hearing, followed by questions and debates, was held on the revised introductory memorandum on “How to prevent inappropriate restrictions on NGO activities in Europe” prepared by Rapporteur Yves Cruchten, Socialist MP from Luxemburg. An important part of this document heavily attacked Azerbaijan, but was based on wrong facts, and jumped to biased conclusions.
