[Presenter] Armenia is continuing to fulfill its commitments to the
Council of Europe.
The Armenian parliament speaker has received a letter of congratulation
from heads of European organizations on Armenia’s fulfilment of its
commitments in the legislative sphere, the head of the parliamentary
commission for defence, national security and internal affairs,
Mger Shakhgeldyan, said today.
As for Azerbaijan’s wish, it wants to turn the Karabakh conflict into
a topic of discussion at a meeting of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly,
Shakhgeldyan said. He added that for the time being it is not known
how NATO will respond to that. But we should be ready and consolidate
our forces in order to drive our message across clearly.
[Passage omitted: minor details]
[Shakhgeldyan] It is natural that Azerbaijan should want to raise
this issue at every meeting. Today, we have no information that the
issue will be discussed. But Asgarov’s [as given] statement sounds
like a warning to us and we should speed up our activities.
