05 April 2007 [13:02] - TODAY.AZ
There will be a constructive debate on the report about Azerbaijan in the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE). We are satisfied with all the positive momentums, said Samad Seyidov, head of Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation to PACE.

Seyidov told the APA Azerbaijani side is prepared to express opinion on the critical nuances in the report.

As to the question whether co-rapporteurs Tony Lloyd and Andres Herkel made some change to the report after its discussion in the Monitoring Committee on March 28, Seyidov said that the report also analyzes positive processes in Azerbaijan, situation of human rights, cooperation with the Venice Commission and some other positive issues.

Commenting on the Armenian delegation's missing the PACE session, Seyidov said it is due to the parliamentary elections in Armenia.

"We cannot speak of this step's legality and illegality. Participation of parliamentary delegations is important. But there might be some objective reasons. The new parliamentary delegation of this country to PACE will be formed after the parliamentary elections, and start activity in June," Seyidov added.

The delegation head stressed that all the issues to be debated at PACE session are priority for Azerbaijan.

"Azerbaijan is inseparable part of Europe. There is not any question on Europe that does not concern us. We are interested in the issues on the condition of human rights in Europe, electoral process, children migration and so on," he said.

Seyidov also added that delegations of GUAM countries to PACE will have meeting.
