Council of Europe Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan, APA reports citing CE website:

"The acquittal today of Ilgar Mammadov and Rasul Jafarov by the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan is to be welcomed. As the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers has repeatedly emphasised, the execution of the European Court of Human Rights' judgments requires the elimination of all the consequences of the criminal charges brought against them. This step will be reviewed by the Committee in the context of the supervision of the execution of the Court's judgments. The Council of Europe remains available to further its cooperation with Azerbaijan", says the statement of the Council of Europe Secretary General.
