EU resolution "an attempt to damage democratic image of Azerbaijan"

Finally, the Azerbaijani Parliament responded to the recent EU resolution about the freedom of expression in the country. According to Azeri Press Agency (APA), the Parliament called the EU resolution "an attempt to damage democratic image of Azerbaijan." Well said, comrades!

Here is an excerpt in APA's translation:

Azerbaijan is working together with the European Union and prefers democratic values.

Human rights protection is one of the country’s supreme goals. No one can make us avoid this way. Our future links with the democratic development. We hope that the European Parliament will not put aside the main tendencies of the country and not be based on the principle of generalization of the different exceptional cases, while reviewing the issues about Azerbaijan.
