26.01.2005 15:29

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “We have got a good resolution”, head of the
Armenian delegation to PACE, Vice Speaker of the Armenian National
Assembly Tigran Torosian stated in his interview with the Armenian
Public Television. In his words, PACE views Nagorno Karabakh as a
negotiating party and the proposal of the Armenian delegation to
consider Karabakh the party to conflict was fixed in the resolution.
Another proposal on replacing the word “separatists” by “the forces
struggling for independence” was also approved by the Political
Committee but was not included in the document only due to a trick of
Turkey’s representative, who misled the PACE deputies, while a second
voting is banned by the regulations. The proposals submitted by the
Azeri party were turned down during the preliminary reading in the
Political Committee. Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE also
noted that the necessity of the creation of atmosphere of trust and
the inadmissibility of solving the problems by force were discussed
at the session.
