AZERBAIJAN MAY DECLARE COUNCIL OF EUROPE RAPPORTEUR PERSONA NON
GRATA. Speaking in Baku on 9 June, Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister
Vilayat Quliev hinted that Swiss parliamentarian Andreas Gross, who
was recently named its rapporteur for Azerbaijan by the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe, may not be permitted to enter
Azerbaijan due to his alleged lack of objectivity, according to Turan
and MPA News Agency, as cited by Groong (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 3
July 2002). Gross was scheduled to arrive in Baku on 15 July with a
Council of Europe monitoring group. Quliev pointed out that Latvia
has similarly refused entry to a Council of Europe official whose
objectivity it questioned. LF
