PACE decision against Azerbaijani delegation "public punishment of  rebel" - David Ananyan 

PACE decision against Azerbaijani delegation "public punishment of  rebel" - David Ananyan 

ArmInfo. Ex-head of Armenia's State Revenue Committee David Ananyan has commented on the PACE decision against ratifying the Azerbaijani delegation's credentials. According to him, it is "whipping in public" that has nothing in common with the processes surrounding Armenia or Artsakh. 

Ananyan stated that on January 24, the great Parliamentary Assembly  of the Council of Europe opened its political arms and excluded  Azerbaijan from its exclusive club for a whole year. According to  him, just like that, to the sounds of a virtuoso melody about the  violation of human rights, the situation in Nagorno- Karabakh and  other heartbreaking notes.

In this vein, he added that, naturally, the decision was made subject  to return, naturally, with the hopeless hope that Azerbaijan would  unconditionally accept surrender according to PACE standards.

"PACE so subtly refers to the PACE resolution "Ensuring free and safe  access through the Lachin corridor" that it seems to be trying to  hide its outdatedness and its own helplessness in implementing  preventive measures. At the same time, PACE cynically expresses deep  regret about the lack of opportunity to visit the Lachin corridor.

However, the most interesting thing is that PACE observers did not  receive the blessing to participate in the presidential elections in  Azerbaijan, which will take place on February 7, 2024. What a  celebration of political culture they will miss.

And the political authorities of Armenia rejoice and admire with  their characteristic illiteracy, ignorance and populism, seriously  believing that the PACE resolution is its main diplomatic victory,"  the former head of the State Duma wrote on his Facebook page.

At the same time, he drew attention to the fact that the reality is  that the West turned a blind eye to the forced de-Armenization of  Artsakh as a result of the genocidal actions carried out by  Azerbaijan last September, hoping under the veil of "dark deals" that  this would help push Russia out of the region and force Baku to  fulfill its obligations - in the context of actions against Iran.

"But unexpectedly for everyone, Azerbaijan decides to demonstrate its  diplomacy in this performance - not to be a puppet. Aliyev, having  absorbed Artsakh, makes a sharp turn in the other direction and joins  the Russian-Iranian wing, welcoming the presence of Russian  peacekeepers in Artsakh, initiating important negotiations with Iran  and etc. Azerbaijan clearly does not hesitate to demonstrate its  independence by refusing to go to Granada and pointing to its  preferred (Russian) platform for resolving issues.

And then the West, like a director who saw an unexpected twist in the  plot, decides to use its favorite tools - yellow cards in the form of  resolutions that shine with bright lights in the political mosaic,  from the French Senate to PACE. Everything is very simple, clear and  has nothing to do with us: the West decided to punish the rebel,"  Ananyan concluded.

On January 24, PACE decided against approving the Azerbaijani  delegation's credentials, arguing that the country had not fulfilled  the main obligations arising from its accession to the Council of  Europe 20 years ago. In response to these actions of the European  deputies, Azerbaijan threatened to withdraw not only from PACE, but  also from the Council of Europe.
