Europe and activity of the OSCE missions in these countries as well as

be debated. We have presented our proposals on the Resolution to be
adopted by al of the three OSCE committees. We’ll try to achieve in
adopting these proposals during the discussions," Ms.Muradova said.

up by Goran Lenmarker, OSCE PA rapporteur on the conflict will not
be discussed at the session. She noted that Lenmarker drew up his
report after his latest visit to Azerbaijan and sent draft resolution
in two variants to Azerbaijan for acquaintance, "One of these draft
resolutions consisted of nine items and the other eleven items. As
our approaches differed from that of Goran Lenmarker in both of the
drafts resolution, we consolidated the drafts into a new 12-item
variant. In his response to us, Lenmarker wrote that Armenia also
demonstrated a different approach to the draft resolution, and
the proposals of the two countries were contrastive enough. The
rapporteur said the discussion of the Nagorno Garabagh conflict at
the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly during this session was postponed,
explaining it by short of time and the sides not having agreed on
their positions," Muradova said.

situation regarding the conflict and massive fires in the occupied
Azerbaijani territories caused by Armenians, "Though this issue is
not on the official agenda, we’ll put this into discussion."
