The Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe (PACE) intends to discuss the Upper (Nagorno)
Garabagh conflict at a meeting with the chairman of the organization’s
subcommittee for the conflict, Lord Russell Johnston, the head of
the Azerbaijani delegation Samad Seyidov said Friday.
The sides are expected to explore ways of applying the PACE resolution
pertaining to the recognition of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity
to the process of negotiations.
With regard to the session proper, Seyidov said issues concerning
Azerbaijan would not be discussed during the spring session of PACE.
However, human rights, the situation in the army and the plight
of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs would remain in the focus of the
discussions. The repeat parliamentary elections in ten constituencies
due in May will be tabled at the session of the organization’s
monitoring committee on May 19.
