PARIS, MARCH 15, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The fate of the PACE
Ad Hoc Commission on Nagorno Karabakh will be discussed at the March
15 PACE Bureau sitting in Paris. The report of Chairman of Ad Hoc
Commission on Nagorno Karabakh Russel Jonston was heard in the evening
of March 13, at the sitting of PACE Commission on Political Issues.

As RA NA Vice Speaker, head of Armenian parliamentary delegation in
PACE Tigran Torosian informed radio “Liberty”, to all probability,
at the PACE Bureau today’s sitting it will be finally decided that
the Ad Hoc Commission on Nagorno Karabakh will continue working under
the aegis of the Bureau.

According to Torosian, the Chairman of the PACE Commission on Political
Issues objected at the previous sitting considering that it’s not
right that PACE Bureau establish an ad hoc commission on issues
within the interests of this or that PACE commission, in this case,
Commission on Political Issues.

Lord Russel Jonston expressed an opinion at the end of his yesterday’s
speech that it will be right that the Ad Hoc Commission on Nagorno
Karabakh preserves its status. “He emphasized that in the future the
Commission’s most important task will be to prepare the two peoples for
future solutions. I.e., the Commission will do its best for appeals
for war and hatred to cease,” the head of the Armenian parliamentary
delegation in PACE mentioned.

According to Tigran Torosian, the Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations’
opinions aroud the issue coincided: “it’s right that the Commission
should preserve its status and continue being engaged in these issues”.
