Belgian parliamentarian: It is impossible to say there is religious tolerance in Armenia

"Azerbaijan should demonstrate the international community that it is an open country in terms of national and religious tolerance. It is impossible to say the same about Armenia. Social situation is tense in Armenia. It is impossible to say there is religious tolerance," head of Belgium-Azerbaijan interparliamentary friendship group Philippe Blanchard told journalists.

He said Azerbaijan should launch wide campaign concerning the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Speaking about the relations between Azerbaijani and Belgian parliaments Philippe Blanchard noted that the friendship group plans to meet in September. The ways of interparliamentary cooperation will be discussed, the parliamentarians will share their experience during the meeting. Philippe Blanchard said it had not been decided where the meeting would be held.

"The Azerbaijani parliamentarians have enough information about Belgium. One can not say the same about the Belgians. We want the Belgian parliamentarians to pay visits to Azerbaijan and get acquainted with the development of Azerbaijan," he said.
