I propose Azerbaijan to refuse negotiations with Armenia and to launch dialogue with Russia, which has played important role since the beginning of the conflict”.
MP Siyavush Novruzov proposed to erect common genocide monument. He also mentioned the issue of Gabala radar station and said that this station is in the balance of Azerbaijan and was leased.

Vice Speaker of the parliament, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to OSCE PA Bahar Muradova informed the lawmakers about the last plenary session of the OSCE PA, where Austrian parliament’s resolution on Nagorno Karabakh conflict was adopted. Bahar Muradova said they proposed to replace the head of OSCE/ODIHR.
Reacting to the vice speaker’s report, Speaker Ogtay Asadov criticized the activity of OSCE/ODIHR head. “Changing the authorities of this organization will not change its essence. I asked the institution authorities when they visited Azerbaijan on the eve of the elections whether they bring ready-made recipe or conduct normal observation. They told me that they have no ready-made recipe. But we see that OSCE/ODIHR always come with ready recipe. They leave PACE and OSCE PA resolutions aside, negotiate for 10-12 hours and leave expressing their ideas. Therefore changing the authorities will not change its essence”.
