PACE appoints new co-rapporteur on Azerbaijan
Maltese lawmaker Joe Debono Grech has been appointed a new
co-rapporteur of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE) Monitoring Committee for Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani
PACE delegation head, Samad Seyidov, said.
"The voting was objective. We are pleased with this choice," Seyidov said.
According to him, Grech was elected with 18 votes. Another candidate, Gerd Janne Kristoffersen, a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party who was backed by the Socialist lawmakers represented by Andreas Gross, received 12 votes.
The former co-rapporteur, Bulgaria’s Evguenia Jivkova, resigned from the post this past June. She did not stand in this year’s parliamentary elections in her country and has shifted to doing business.*
