President Ilham Aliyev, receiving the rapporteur of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on political prisoners
Malcolm Bruce on Tuesday, described the recent discussions on Nagorno
Karabakh conflict at PACE as a positive step.
He said the conflict settlement is under the authority of the OSCE
Minsk Group, stressing the importance of increasing the attention to
the issue by international organizations, including the Council of
Europe.
Aliyev expressed confidence that the discussions held and documents
adopted by PACE will play an important role in resolving the
conflict.
Bruce regarded the last resolution on the Nagorno Karabakh problem as
a fair document, emphasizing the importance of President Aliyev’s
speech, made at PACE, for its adoption.
According to Bruce, Aliyev’s statements concerning the fulfillment of
Azerbaijan’s commitments to the CE and a fair settlement of the
conflict were highly appreciated by European parliamentarians.
