Head of Azerbaijani delegation to NATO Parliamentary Assembly Ziyafet Askerov called for Armenians to be evicted from NATO parliamentary assembly, analyst Richard Giragosian tweeted.

Richard Giragorsian, Director of Armenia-based Regional Studies Center, is participating in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (PA) Rose-Roth Seminar that is held in Baku. 

Guragosian said Azerbaijani delegates' conduct resembles “tragic farce”: they called  Armenian president “criminal terrorist” and accused Tevan Poghosyan's family of terrorism.

 “I'm proud of all that my father has done... He taught me to love my country,” Poghosyan said in response.

The Armenian delegates noted that the Armenian armed forces are now contributor, and no longer consumer of regional and international security.

Azerbaijani analyst Avaz Hasanov, for his part, warned NATO meeting of risk of instability in Azerbaijan from islamists and criticizes Baku crackdown on civil society. Besides, he warned of difficulty in engaging Armenia and Karabakh under Azerbaijan state pressure.
