lpv:translated text	"Mr President, last week, there were presidential elections in Azerbaijan. The reports now coming out of Azerbaijan and Baku are very worrying. The OSCE believes that electoral fraud took place. The opposition leaders were harassed and, following the election, people were killed in riots. News is now emerging that thousands of opposition members have been imprisoned. I want to call upon you to protest most vigorously, on behalf of Parliament, against what is now happening in Azerbaijan. If Azerbaijan wants to become a respected, democratic state, the country must fulfil the most fundamental condition of democracy and hold free and open elections. That is something you should convey to the newly elected president, Ilham Aliyev, who is also Vice-President of the Council of Europe. I say this as a friend of Azerbaijan. I am a committee member of the Azerbaijani-Swedish Friendship Association."@en1
