The permanent member of the RA NA delegation to PACE Vladimir Vardanyan gave a speech at PACE Autumn Session, noting:

“ Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Dear Colleagues.

I would like to express the words of gratitude to all the political groups supporting and actually reflecting the reality.

I would like to address Mr Samad S eyidov on the issues he raised. Mr S eyidov , you are playing a very complicated role. You cannot even understand how far I [do not] understand you. How it is possible for many years to defend evil. In any case it's your choice, but here we are in the organisational values, and let's speak about values. It's very important when we are speaking about commitments.

Mr Samad S eyidov ,

Our Colleagues,

When Armenia and Azerbaijan began membership of this respectful organisation, we took the obligation not to use forcer, or the threat of force to solve political problems. It happened in 2020, and nobody reacted. We knew that this day would come. Today, fortunately, many of you understand what's going on there.

When Mr Samad S eyidov is speaking about the Armenian forces in Azerbaijan, I would like to say that it's totally false. The people of Nagorno-Karabakh have the right to defend their existential life. Look at what's going on : Dismemberment, humiliation, wil l ful killing. We have the right to self-defence, at least. They're trying to use this right. ”
