The draft report on Nagornyy Karabakh prepared by PACE ex-rapporteur
Terry Davis, who is presently holding the post of secretary-general of
the Council of Europe, “is not impartial and reflects the interests of
British oil companies”, the deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament,
Vaan Ovanesyan, said at the National Press Club in Yerevan today.

According to him, “it should be taken into account that PACE’s new
rapporteur on Nagornyy Karabakh David Atkinson is also British and his
report will be most likely based on the documents prepared by his
predecessor”.
