Member of the Republican Party of Armenian parliamentary group Gagik Melikyan said that, in his opinion, after the election of Mevlut Cavusoglu to the post of PACE President, Europe has started conceiving what “democratic” Turkey is.

According to him, if things continue developing the same way, soon representatives of PACE delegations will be have to deliver speeches in turbans or Muslim kerchiefs. “If it is acceptable for Europe, let it be so,” Minasyan told a press conference.

Referring to recent reports in PACE, Minasyan noted that they are a result of the Turkish-Azerbaijani lobby’s efforts. “Cavusoglu has not grasped yet that he is representing PACE, he thinks he is the chairman of Turkey’s Mejlis,” concluded Melikyan.
