Azerbaijan, Baku, March 27 / Trend M.Aliyev /
Azerbaijan considers unacceptable participation in the youth conference under the Eastern Partnership held in Yerevan.
Armenia has repeatedly been invited to the international youth activities held in Azerbaijan, but despite the fact that full guarantee of safety was ensured, it refused to participate in them, spokesman for the Ministry of Youth and Sport Samaya Mammadova told Trend on Tuesday.
"Armenia was invited to a meeting of the Council for the Youth of the CIS member states, as well as a meeting of Sports Ministers of the Council of Europe, which were held recently in Baku. It was given a complete guarantee of safety. However, the Armenian side refused to participate in these events. Armenia has also refused to participate in the Eurovision-2012 Song Contest, which will be held in Baku in May," Mammadova said.
Armenia, repeatedly citing as a reason security concerns, refused to participate in various events held in Azerbaijan, she said. "But it should be noted that during the world wrestling championship, which took place in Baku, Armenian athletes security was provided at a high level", said Mammadova.
Given all this, Azerbaijan considers it unacceptable to participate in the youth conference under the Eastern Partnership, held in Yerevan, said the spokesman.
In Yerevan on March 26-28 with the participation of young people in Armenia, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine youth programs are discussed at the conference held under the Eastern Partnership.
