The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - the United States, France and Russia - have stated that they do not recognize the elections held in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan by separatist Armenia. The European Union (EU) also does not recognize the election. The European Parliament, as well as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), and other organizations - all leading international organizations - have condemned the election, except the Council of Europe. The Council of Europe did not react to this issue. The reason is clear. One of the main goals of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is to stain Azerbaijan, discredit our country, disseminate lies about our country, make false reports, support the "fifth column" in Azerbaijan, as well as, traitors and the Armenian side in the conflict. Therefore, the Council of Europe did not react to fake elections. There is not objectivity and justice in this case. When I noted that the documents adopted by the Council of Europe on Azerbaijan are only a piece of paper for me, I meant it, " President Aliyev made these statements at inauguration of Tartar Olympic Sport Complex on June 3. 

"The Azerbaijani community saw that the Council of Europe holds anti-Azerbaijan position. The basis of all accusations addressed to Azerbaijan is Azerbaijanophobia and anti-Azerbaijan tendencies in the organization. We excessively return all these accusations to them. Let them make a statement about what is happening in some countries around the world now. Police violence, violence against protesters, killing protesters, removing their eyes, mass arrests, beating and arresting journalists, where do these all take place? In Western countries. Let them open their eyes, look and be ashamed to be silent. Why? Because they are afraid of strong states. They believe that this issue has nothing to do with the protection of human rights. Therefore, the hypocritical nature of this organization is clear to anyone, and we do not care whether they recognize so-called elections or not. The main thing is that the world's most respected organizations have not recognized and condemned the fraudulent elections in Nagorno-Karabakh," President Aliyev also underlined.
