DISCUSSION OF KARABAKH CONFLICT AT PACE CONTRIBUTED TO ACTIVATION OF
NEGOTIATION PROCESS: AZERBAIJANI REPRESENTATIVE AT CE

YEREVAN, AUGUST 8. ARMINFO. The report of Davis-Atkinson has become
the “last alarm warning Armenians to revise their positions in the
conflict.” Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan at the Council of
Europe Agshin Mekhtiyev says in his interview to Trend.

He says the report showed whose advantage the balance is tilted to.
“The Committee engaged in conflicts within the frameworks of PACE is
created, and it means that neither PACE nor CE intend to leave the
settlement of the given issue without attention,” Mekhtiyev says.

In his opinion, Davis-Atkinson report reflects the position of the
CE. No one can ignore it, Mekhtiyev thinks. I think discussion of the
given problem at PACE as well as inclusion of the issue of
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict in the agenda of UN General Assembly
have become factors which contributed to facilitation of the
negotiation process alongside with others, Mekhtiyev says.
