VARDAN OSKANYAN: TERRY DAVIS’ REPORT UNACCEPTABLE FOR ARMENIA

22.09.2004 17:25

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The report prepared by PACE Rapporteur on Nagorno
Karabakh Terry Davis is unacceptable for Armenia, Armenian Foreign
Minister Vardan Oskanian stated at a press conference today. In his
words, the report contained subjective assessments and represents
“one person’s opinion.” “One cannot agree with it, and it presents an
incorrect notion,” noted the head of the foreign department of
Armenia. At the same time he pointed out that the report has no
status, especially that the newly appointed Rapporteur David Atkinson
is to prepare his own report as well. When answering a question
whether they may be concern over new Rapporteur also representing
Great Britain, which is known for its conservative approach to the
Karabakh problem, V. Oskanian pointed out that irrespective of
whether the report will be based on the previous one or not, it is
necessary to work with the new Rapporteur for his report not to
reflect one person’s point of view alone and not to affect the
Nagorno Karabakh settlement.
