Yörg Tauss is not longer member of the Social Democrats Party. He had to leave after a scandal in which he was accused of watching children porn on the internet. Claiming to have researched for a campaign against children porn to his defence, he left the SPD and joined the newly founded Pirates' Party keeping his mandate in the parliament. The accusations might be wrong or right; they somehow killed Tauss' political credibility in Germany. Emin met Tauss several times during the last years before the scandal, when Tauss was part of the South Caucasus Group of German Parliament. Tauss helped a lot to set up the conference on the future of Azerbaijan in 2007 in the German Parliament.
