Stir should not be created around the NATO seminar, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev stated, when commenting the protest actions, held by representatives of the Azeri society on the occasion of the arrival of the Armenian delegation in Baku for participation in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Rose-Roth seminar. "Azerbaijan will not agree to concessions in maters of principle. But if we do not admit Armenians' participation in the seminar, it will be used against us," the Azeri President said. Having expressed Azerbaijan's desire to hold international forums in the country, I. Aliyev indicated that if Baku refuses from the measures, Armenia will merely gain from that. Besides, as noted by the President, Armenian Prime Minister, deputies and other officials had arrived in Azerbaijan earlier. As of the Cooperative Best Effort - 2004 NATO exercises in September, when the Armenian military were not admitted to Baku and the NATO leadership canceled the maneuvers in Azerbaijan, he himself did not let Armenians to the country, as the issue was a matter "of principal", I. Aliyev said.
