Azerbaijan's parliament voted on Friday to suspend all cooperation with the European Parliament, in what Baku described as a response to anti-Azerbaijani activities by the bloc's legislature, reported Xinhua. The parliament, known as Milli Majlis, passed a resolution halting cooperation across all tracks with the European Parliament and ending its participation in the EU-Azerbaijan Parliamentary Cooperation Committee.
At the opening of the spring session, Milli Majlis Speaker Sahiba Gafarova announced that the chamber would take responsive measures over what she called anti-Azerbaijani activities by the European Parliament. The legislature simultaneously initiated withdrawal procedures from the EuroNest Parliamentary Assembly, a regional inter-parliamentary forum with the European Parliament and parliaments of several other countries. Earlier, Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry summoned EU Ambassador Marijana Kujundzic and protested over a European Parliament resolution adopted on Thursday, which Baku said contained unsubstantiated and biased provisions against the country.
