Azerbaijani women MPs do not believe Turkish prime minister criticized them

"We do not believe that the Erdogan administration has made such statements and we think media reports on this issue are an effort of the forces that seek to undermine Turkey-Azerbaijan relations," MP Ganira Pashayeva said.

Azerbaijani women MPs Ganira Pashayeva, Zhale Abbasova, Gular Ahmadova and Aynur Jamalgizi visited Ankara in April to protest against opening of the Turkey-Armenia borders.

Turkish media reported on May on 21 that Erdogan asked to provide him with detailed information about the Azerbaijani MPs. The prime minister said he was dissatisfied with Azerbaijani MPs' statements.  

Erdogan visited Azerbaijan earlier last week. Turkish prime minister said once again that Turkey will not open borders with Armenia.

Pashayeva said Azerbaijani MPs are expecting Ankara to make explanation about the media reports.

"We asked Turkish embassy to study this issue. The embassy said reports in the Turkish media are untrue and said they will provide an official explanation after they study the issue," Pashayeva said.
