PanARMENIAN.Net – All decisions by the Council of Europe must be
implemented, Foreign Minister of Finland said.

Erkki Tuomioja voiced such a comment in response to the question
on Azerbaijan’s ignoring decisions of Council of Europe on banning
propaganda of racial hatred.

On April 3, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev called Armenians
“fascists” during a plenary sitting of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly
in Baku. The statement sparked resentment of the Armenian delegation
which dubbed it improper and beyond diplomatic norms. Representatives
of Euronest delegation and other countries also expressed discontent
with Aliyev’s conduct.

Euronest inter-parliamentary union includes Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
