/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today Armenian and Azeri parliamentarians as well
as representatives of the OSCE PA are completing 2-day discussions of
the Goran Lennmarker’s draft report on Nagorno Karabakh, Armenpress
agency reports. Armenian Parliament Vice Speaker Vahan Hovhanissian
and Republican Party member Manvel Nikoian are serving on the
Armenian delegation. Azerbaijan’s representative Aldar Ibrahimov told
the Azeri media that the Azerbaijani deputies will do their best to
make the item of Atkinson’s report (where Armenia is described as an
occupant-state) adopted in the PACE be reflected in the report
prepared by OSCE PA Special Representative on Karabakh Goran
Lennmarker. Lennmarker’s report will be presented at the annual
sitting of the OSCE PA to be held in Washington in July. In
Ibrahimov’s words if the above-mentioned item were included in the
present report it would considerably simplify the adoption of the
resolution, in which Armenia is stated as an `occupant’. The members
of the Armenian delegation are working for neutralization of the
consequences of Atkinson’s report.
