"It has been a long time. A delegation from the European Parliament hasn’t been here in a long time. I remember the last delegation visiting Azerbaijan in 2018," said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on July 19 as he received a delegation led by the chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, David McAllister, APA reports.
"To be honest, I was even a little surprised when I heard that you were planning on a trip to Azerbaijan. You may know the reason. I remember the meeting where we extensively discussed the development of cooperation. Unfortunately, it did not happen. The reason was not associated with us, but with the position of certain members of the European Parliament. We consider that position completely unfounded. Accusations, insults and false information were circulated against us. I have even forgotten the number of anti-Azerbaijani resolutions adopted by the European Parliament at different times. We are probably talking about more than 10 resolutions. In particular, a resolution was adopted after the Patriotic War. This is particularly worrying because the resolution refers to the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Karabakh. This is not true. That resolution was adopted in March of this year. In other words, it happened a year and a half after the end of the war," the President stated.
