Azerbaijani MPs hold press conference on fires in the occupied territories in Strasbourg

29 June 2006 [17:07] - TODAY.AZ
The members of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation to PACE held a press conference today with regard to recent massive fires in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan set by Armenians.

As APA reports, the press conference chaired by parliamentarian Gultakin Hajiyeva also brought together parliamentarians Aydin Mirzazadeh, Ganira Pashayeva, Sabir Hajiyev and Fazail Ibrahimli. In the press conference, media representatives were informed in detail about Armenians torching the occupied Azerbaijani territories.

The photos of the territories on fire taken by satellite were distributed to journalists. An Armenian journalist tried to explain these fires due to natural reasons, in particular hot weather but parliamentarian Sabir Hajiyev called this argument groundless.

"It is possible natural reasons to cause fires in everywhere and in Azerbaijan as well but in this case there are attempts to prevent the fire. Armenians refusing to take any action about it make us think they deliberately caused these fires," the Azerbaijani parliamentarian said.
