(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 27. Hungary has
protested against the PACE resolution on the credentials of the
Azerbaijani delegation, the press service of the Milli Majlis
(Parliament) of Azerbaijan told Trend .
According to the information, Zsolt Németh, the leader of the
Hungarian National Assembly delegation to the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), sent a letter to PACE
President Theodoros Rousopoulos on February 22. The communication
pertained to Resolution No. 2527 (2004), which was passed during
the organization's winter session and addresses the
non-ratification of the powers of the Azerbaijani delegation.
The letter notes that cases of stopping dialogue with the
delegations strike a blow to the joint activity.
Zsolt Németh called on the PACE president together with
political groups to take urgent and decisive steps to restore the
activity of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation in PACE.
"I reiterate my dissent with Resolution No. 2527 (2024) passed
during the winter session. I extend my support, along with that of
my colleagues, for ongoing and sustainable efforts to facilitate
the return of the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary
Assembly," the letter reads.
The credentials of Azerbaijan's delegation to PACE were
challenged on the opening day of the 2024 winter plenary session.
Frank Schwabe, who heads the German delegation to PACE, proposed to
deny the Azerbaijani delegation's credentials because Azerbaijan
allegedly "organized the expulsion of Armenians from Karabakh".
Thus, PACE was dissatisfied with the fact that they were "not
invited" to observe the presidential election to be held on
February 7. Before that, in October 2023, the PACE adopted a
one-sided and biased resolution regarding localized anti-terrorist
measures undertaken by Azerbaijan in Karabakh.
