President: I hope that the MEPs will find the courage to reconsider their unfair policy towards Azerbaijan

We have not been cooperating with the European Parliament (EP), as well as the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) for many years.

As AZERTAC reports, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said this on January 20 in an interview with Euronews channel in Davos, expressing his attitude towards the constant criticism of Azerbaijan from the EP.

"We stopped responding to this," said the head of state, adding that it is quite obvious that this biased position towards Azerbaijan is created by special lobbying groups, special forces that cannot come to terms with Azerbaijan's independent policy.

"We have not been cooperating with the European Parliament, as well as with PACE, for many years. We cooperate with the European Commission, and that is enough for us. But I think that the European Parliament puts itself in a very awkward position by accusing us of things we have never done, including the so-called aggressive position towards Armenia, while Armenia itself values relations with Azerbaijan. And in August of last year, a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan was initialed at the White House. Therefore, I hope that the members of the EP will find the courage to reconsider their unfair policy towards Azerbaijan," said President Ilham Aliyev.
