NGOs to evaluate PACE rapporteur’s report on Upper Garabagh
The National NGO Forum in its meeting on January 13 will discuss a
report prepared by British MP David Atkinson, the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) rapporteur on Upper Garabagh
conflict.
The report is due to be discussed at the winter session of PACE in
Strasbourg on January 25.
President of the Forum Azay Guliyev said Atkinson’s report contains
some provisions unacceptable for Azerbaijan, as they do not reflect
the interests of the country’s public.
Atkinson’s report was approved with several changes and supplements
compliant with Azerbaijan’s position in a meeting of the PACE
Political Committee held in Paris on November 17, 2004 and put on the
agenda of the Assembly’s winter session.*
