It is high time for Azerbaijan to come down to earth from its virtual oil-and-caviar world, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian said in a join news conference with his Czech counterpart Lubomir Zaoralek in Yerevan on June 25 when commenting on Azerbaijan's efforts to include anti-Armenian wordings on the Karabakh issue at PACE.
The minister said Azerbaijan makes vain efforts to save its falling authority at the international platforms. "Baku tries to justify its authoritarian regime and human rights violations with the Karabakh conflict. The attempts to include those wordings to PACE resolutions are an evidence of this. It has become evident that Azerbaijan's oil dollars are making one nauseous. A number of European parliamentarians have already condemned such actions of Azerbaijan," the minister said.
The anti-Armenian wordings on the Karabakh problem have been removed from the PACE resolution on Azerbaijan.
In particular, the wording "Armenia's occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and other territories" has been replaced with a wording "the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
In the meantime, the PACE Monitoring Commission's report reflects on all the flaws in the democratic processes in Azerbaijan. PACE is concerned over that situation, the report says.
The removal of the pro-Azerbaijani wordings from the report has caused the Azerbaijani Delegation's indignation.
