PACE PRESIDENT WOULD BE AGAINST REPLACING OSCE MINSK GROUP WITH CE

YEREVAN, AUGUST 19, NOYAN TAPAN. PACE President Rene van Der Linden
said at the August 19 press conference in Yerevan that he would be
against if the Council of Europe (CE) replaced the OSCE Minsk Group
in the issue of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

According to him, this problem is quite delicate and sensitive, and
it must be solved by the two countries – Armenia and Azerbaijan. At
the same time, PACE President noted that the organization headed by
him may prove useful in the process of reconciliation, particularly
through parliamentarian contacts.
