Armenia Fails To Realize Claims In PACE

Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan

Armenia has again failed to realize their territorial claims as the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) supported
Azerbaijan’s fair position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, head of
the Azerbaijani delegation at PACE Samad Seyidov said.

Seyidov returned home late on Thursday from the meeting of the PACE
Political Committee held in Strasbourg. He said that the Azerbaijani
delegation’s position at PACE substantiates that Azerbaijan is pursuing
a correct and fair policy.

“The developments in the Committee’s meeting were expectable as
a report on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, prepared by former
CE rapporteur Terry Davis, contained realities and was precise,”
Seyidov noted.

According to Seyidov, the Azeri parliament members were also ready
to prevent the Armenian MPs’ attempts to withdraw the report from
the meeting agenda.

The report is due to be discussed at the PACE session in January 2005.
