The NATO Parliamentary Assembly President Pierre Lelouche has invited
Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders to a plenary session of the Assembly
due in Paris late in May.
President Ilham Aliyev has accepted the invitation and will visit the
French capital for the purpose, Radio Liberty reported. Lelouche said
NATO backs peace in the South Caucasus. The alliance therefore deems
it essential to hold meetings on the level of presidents to discuss
settlement of the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict.
“In Paris, we will look for ways of resolving the conflict, which
is very destructive. We need stability in the Caucasus. I have been
in trenches in Garabagh and know firsthand how hard it is for both
peoples. I am aware of the problems faced by refugees in Azerbaijan
and deplore their plight.”
