The Gardman-Shirvan-Nakhijevan Pan-Armenian Union referred to the arrest of the delegate of the OSCE observation mission in Baku.
“Swiss delegate of the OSCE observation mission, Nick Guger, was deported to Turkey after being arrested at the Baku airport and then detained for some time. This dubious reality, which has not yet been officially commented by either Baku or Switzerland, should be considered in the light of the endangered Azerbaijan-Europe dialogue.
Nick Guger is also a PACE member. It is necessary to recall that a few days ago the PACE did not ratify the powers of the Azerbaijani delegation, based on the tragic situation of human rights and freedoms in Azerbaijan and the failure to invite the PACE to monitor the extraordinary elections, as well as the war against the people of Nagorno Karabakh. In response to this PACE decision, the President of Azerbaijan threatened to review Azerbaijan’s membership in the Council of Europe and the ECHR. Therefore, the deportation of Nick Googer can be considered a kind of response from Azerbaijan to the PACE.
This step of Azerbaijan once again proves that the Azerbaijani regime deeply despises the European humanitarian and legal value system. Instead of reviewing the anti-humanist logic and ideology of its domestic and foreign policy, publicly accepting the fact of ethnic cleansing carried out against Nagorno-Karabakh and working towards the elimination of the consequences, Azerbaijan throws down the gauntlet to world arbitration and civilizational values, developing favorable conditions for the reproduction of ultra-nationalist aggressive ideology, unseen, but predictable and dramatized. thanks to the elections.
The Gardman-Shirvan-Nakhijevan Pan-Armenian Union strongly condemns the convinced deconstructionism of Azerbaijan and calls on the European community to consider how the regime that behaved in such a way with the PACE deputy can treat ordinary citizens, particularly the unarmed Armenian civilian population,” the union’s statement said. .
