  Azeris threaten to foil Armenian MPs’ participation in Euronest session March 23, 2012 - 21:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of so-called Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) pledged to prevent Armenian MPs from participating in Azeri-hosted Euronest Parliamentary Assembly’s plenary session. “KLO will spare no effort to prevent Armenian parliamentarians’ visit to Azerbaijan. Protest actions will be organized among other steps,” SalamNews quoted Akif Nagi as saying. According to earlier reports, the co-chair of Euronest Committee on Social Affairs, Education, Culture and Civil Society stated that Armenian delegation wished to partake in a plenary session of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly due April 2-5 in Azerbaijan. “We’d like to participate in Euronest session in case security guarantees are provided. Participating in the event would be a correct step, as the session is organized by Euronest, rather than Azerbaijan,” Artak Zakaryan said.
