“Ad-hoc committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE) on Nagorno Karabakh will now continue its work under
the direct control of organization’s Bureau, the head of Azerbaijani
parliamentary delegation to PACE,” said Samed Seyidov at the press
conference on the results of his visit to PACE committee in Paris.

Commenting on the speech of the committee head, Lord Russell-Johnston,
Seyidov underlined that the content of this speech was known
beforehand, as it was included in the Council of Europe’s agenda
during the January session of the committee.

“We hold similar evaluation. Following the resolution adopted at the
Council of Europe’s conference, Lord Johnston continues to reflect on
the realities of the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict and the interests
of Azerbaijan,” Seyidov said. “The date of a meeting of the Ad Hoc
Committee will be defined at a meeting of PACE in April.”

Seyidov stated that together with PACE Azerbaijan will have to appoint
a representative of the mission to participate in talks. “But our
delegation has not been completely formed, we are waiting for the
results of the re-run parliamentary elections in May,” Seyidov
emphasized.

He also said that another meeting of the CE representatives will take
place on March 16 in Istanbul, though no issue on Azerbaijan was not
included in the agenda.
