YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan is trying to use Euronest, as well as any other international organization, as a platform to get into an argument with Armenia, said head of Armenia’s delegation to Euronest Vahan Hovhannisyan.
The Azerbaijani delegation has already sent a “traditional” letter to Euronest Bureau indicating about “20% of occupied territories of Azerbaijan and 1 million refugees”.
The Armenian side has already sent a response, Hovhannisyan said at a meeting of the Armenian delegation to Euronest and NGOs involved in Eastern Partnership’s political platform.
Azerbaijani letter came after proposal to hold the next meeting of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly scheduled for September in Armenia when the country will celebrate 20th anniversary of independence.
The Euronest Parliamentary Assembly is the parliamentary component of the proposed eastern Partnership. It consists of members of the European Parliament and Parliaments of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia. After the elections in Belarus in 2010 were declared as flawed by the OSCE, the membership of Belarus in Euronest was automatically suspended
