PACE subcommittee on Karabakh to meet in June

The newly-established subcommittee of the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will meet for
the first time during the summer session of PACE, due to start on
June 22.

The subcommittee, led by former PACE chairman, British parliament
member Lord Russel Johnston, has assumed the mission of monitoring
issues relating to the conflict, head of the Azeri delegation at PACE
Samad Seyidov said.

Azerbaijan’s commitments to the Council of Europe, including the
citizens’ right to freedom of assembly and the activity of public
television, will also be in focus at the summer session. The list of
`political prisoners’ submitted by some non-government organizations
and the country’s Election Code will be discussed as well, Seyidov
added.
