Baku slams European Parliament resolution on Azerbaijan as groundless

The resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 25 April 2024 is groundless and openly misrepresents the human rights situation in Azerbaijan, said Aykhan Hajizada, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Report informs, citing the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan.

While responding to the resolution of the European Parliament of 25 April 2024, Hajizada noted that rubber-stamping such one-sided and biased resolutions has long become a usual business for the European Parliament.

According to him, this cannot be considered other than an explicit political order by those forces in Europe that goes in the direction of further deteriorating relations with Azerbaijan.

The spokesperson added that in these conditions, a certain group of European Parliament members being guided by their internal considerations and personal gains pushes through a distorted picture of the situation in Azerbaijan.

Hajizade also pointed out that the motives of those who initiate the adoption of such documents are to divert attention from the truly pressing socio-economic and political problems of the European community as well.

“Moreover, appeals to introducing sanctions against Azerbaijan, do nothing but complicate Azerbaijan-EU relations. We once again urge the European Parliament to stop interference in the internal affairs and judicial processes of Azerbaijan,” he said.
