Azeri journalists asked the CE Secretary General Teri Davis about
CE-Azeri relations after Azeri president Ilkham Aliev’s visit to CE.

Davis said some changes are visible in Azerbaijan – a part of
political prisoners are released. Works need to be continued.

What for including Karabakhi issue in the PACE winter session agenda,
Davis said he had completed his report on Karabakh.

`New reporter is already appointed. I can’t predict his steps: he can
use some parts of my report or can not to do that’, said Davis without
clarifying whether Karabakh will be put in the winter session agenda
or not.

Asked about Abkhazia, Davis said it goes without question that
Abkhazia is a part of Georgia like Chechnya is Russia’s and
Pridnestrovie Moldova’s. He didn ‘t mention Karabakh.
