Report informs, a Vice President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, a head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Ayaz Guliyev said.

According to him, this step by the organization is directed against Azerbaijan: "There is no evidence to prove that Samad Seyidov personally belongs to this corruption issue.
