"Homosexuality has been legal in Azerbaijan since 2000, but LGBT people and activists in the country still face routine and systematic oppression.
Following a spate of homophobic incidents in the country, the European Parliament adopted a motion voicing concern about "hate speech" against LGBTI people.
It reads: "[The European Parliament] is extremely concerned over the situation of LGBTI people in Azerbaijan
"[Parliament] strongly condemns political hate speech against LGBTI people coming from the highest levels."
