lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the opening of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline has ushered in a new era for Azerbaijan. However, the new economic challenges which are arising must be followed by a series of reforms at political and social level. Otherwise, they will lead the country to results which are the opposite of those anticipated, such as even greater unemployment and a wider social gap. Azerbaijan must make good use of these developments and move towards democratisation. We urge the Azeri Government in the motion for a resolution to respect democratic values, including the right to a different opinion, and to start an open dialogue with the opposition, in accordance with the undertakings which it has given within the framework of the OSCE and the Council of Europe. A political environment needs to be created which will foster political pluralism, in order to ensure that the elections next November are conducted democratically. We roundly condemn the murder of the journalist Elmar Huseynov, the ban on rallies, such as the recent rally cancelled by the Mayor of Baku on 21 May, and the cases of infringement of judicial independence, and we call on the country to dynamically promote institutional, legal and administrative reform. It must be made clear to the present Azeri Government that the European Union roundly condemns all forms of antidemocratic practice. I call on the House to vote in favour of the motion for a resolution which we are debating today and I express the hope that our intervention will be taken into serious account by the Azeri Government."@en1
