Roberta Metsola responds to Azerbaijani president 

ArmInfo.  Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, responded to Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev's attacks on the European Parliament.

Taking the floor after Aliyev's speech at the European Political  Community Summit in Yerevan, she noted that statements made at the  summit required an immediate response. "I must say this because one  of the speeches focused specifically on the European Parliament. And  it requires an immediate response," Metsola said.

In this vein, she hastened to remind everyone that the European  Parliament is a democratic body composed of elected representatives.  "And its resolutions are adopted by a majority. These resolutions may  create inconvenience for many, but we never change our working  methods and approaches," Metsola emphasized.

In his keynote speech at the European Political Community summit in  Yerevan, Ilham Aliyev criticized the European Parliament and the  Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) for their  resolutions in support of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh in the face of  Azerbaijani aggression. He accused the European Parliament of  employing double standards.
