BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 3. In a recent article
for the popular Canadian outlet THEJ.CA, Rachel Avraham, a
prominent political analyst, journalist, and founder and CEO of the
Don Gracia Center for Diplomacy, criticized the European Parliament
for its double standards regarding Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
"Before attempting to interfere in Azerbaijan’s internal legal
matters, the European Parliament should address its deep-seated
corruption issues and restore public trust. MEPs should be driven
by a genuine pursuit of truth, justice, and peace—not by
self-serving political games or financial interests," the article
The article highlights that Azerbaijan is conducting trials
against individuals of Armenian descent for war crimes they have
committed. These individuals are accused of serious crimes in
Azerbaijan, including torture, mercenary activities, war crimes,
acts of terrorism, and financing terrorism.
The author characterizes the recently adopted EP resolution on
this issue as unfounded, biased, and prejudiced, considering it
part of a campaign to undermine Azerbaijan's reputation.
Drawing on past experiences, Avraham noted that the European
Parliament's (EP) hostile stance toward Azerbaijan comes as no
surprise, describing it as yet another example of the EP advancing
Armenia’s interests. She also pointed to similar patterns within
other European institutions, including the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) and the European Court of Human
Rights (ECHR).
Furthermore, Avraham argued that this persistent bias represents
just one aspect of the double standards Azerbaijan continues to
face. The Azerbaijani government, she emphasized, has consistently
defended the legality of its actions under both national and
international law. The article stresses that the ongoing trial in
Baku of individuals accused of grave crimes is a domestic legal
matter, and any external interference is unjustified and
unacceptable.
