President Ilham Aliyev and Norwegian Foreign Minister, chairman of
the Council of Europe (CE) Ministerial Committee Ian Peterson visiting
Baku bilateral relations, the Azerbaijan-CE cooperation and the Upper
Garabagh conflict on Wednesday, the President’s Office said.

Aliyev emphasized the fair position of Azerbaijan which supports a
broad discussion of the conflict settlement.

“When we proposed to appoint the PACE rapporteur on Upper Garabagh,
Armenia opposed it, “which shows that this country is not interested in
conveying the essence of the conflict to the international community”,
