ArmInfo.In PACE a member of the Armenian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Naira Zohrabyan again raised the issue of Azerbaijan's anti-Amryan policy.
She stressed that there are elements of Armennophobia even in Azerbaijan's school textbooks. Zohrabyan also recalled the words of the President of Azerbaijan that the Armenians of the whole world are enemies of the Azerbaijanis. She recalled the call of one of the Azerbaijani officials to conduct a DNA analysis of state officials to identify whether there were Armenians among them, as well as the statement of the AR Ombudsman that the act of Rafmil Safarov, who had hacked a sleeping Armenian officer with an ax, should be an example for all Azerbaijani young men.
At the same time, Zohrabyan stressed that PACE should not react in the way to the problems raised by it from year to year.
Zohrabyan also reported that on the eve of the spring session of the PACE discussions were held with the participation of representatives of NGOs whose members are Azerbaijani dissidents Leyla Yunusova and Ilgar Mammadov. During the hearings, they, in particular, stressed that while the dictatorial regime of Aliyev is in power, there will be no peace with the Armenian side around Karabakh.
In a conversation with journalists, Zohrabyan also touched upon her behavior during the parliamentary hearings on the topic "National Human Rights Agenda: UN Monitoring", which became a subject for discussion not only in Armenia, but also international human rights organizations: as the chairperson of the meeting, I calmly gave Lilit Martirosyan a transgender speech from the rostrum of the National Assembly. I do not think that by my behavior I somehow violated human rights. "
