/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "It’s inadmissible for members of the Council
of Europe, which undertook peaceful co-existence as a basis,
to experience a conflict like the Nagorno Karabakh one," President
of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Rene van der
Linder said. He voiced hope that the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan
with the assistance of the Council of Europe and other international
organizations will proceed with the dialogue and achieve a final
peaceful resolution. "Our aim is to render the essential assistance
in order to prevent any opposition between two members of the CoE,"
he said.
"Even if provided by law and political defense expediency, a CoE
member must not unleash war. War is ruled out. We give priority to
a decision that is achieved by peaceful means only, via dialogue and
negotiations. If either of the sides launches war, it will bring to
serious discussions in the PACE and the membership of the state in
the Council of Europe will be questioned," the PACE President said,
