"Azerbaijani delegates really read the congratulation addressed to me by speaker Ogtay Asadov," Armenian Parliament speaker Tigran Torosyan told journalists.

Commenting on the recent scandal regarding Azerbaijani parliament president Ogtay Asadov's congratulatory message to him, Torosyan said he regrets the Azerbaijani side's denial of this fact. In his words, Azerbaijani MP Asef Hajiyev addressed the meeting of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Parlaimentary Assembly in Yerevan.

"Asef Hajiyev read Ogtay Asadov's message in which the Azeri Speaker thanked the Armenian parliament for providing a good opportunity for the participants' meeting. Besides, Ogtay Asadov congratulated me on my election as parliament speaker and wished me success," Torosyan said.

The parliament press secretary Akif Tavakkuloghlu told that speaker Ogtay Asadov refuses to say anything about that, APA reports.
