Subcommittee Meeting on Nagorni Garabagh Held
07.10.2006

In the course of PACE autumn session meeting of subcommittee on
Nagorni Garabagh was held. Head of Milli Mejlis delegation, committee
member, Samad Seidov, told AzerTaj correspondent about meeting:
– During the meeting Azerbaijani part raised the issues connected
with the most crucial problems troubling our country, – fires at
occupied territories, destinies of missing people. Armenian part also
expressed its position on certain problems. The most crucial problem
for us is to observe resolution adopted two years ago. It clearly
shows who is aggressor, what events took place in what form and who
commits ethnic cleaning. Observation of this resolution is very
important for us.

We do not regulate Nagorni Garabagh problem within the format of
Council of Europe. It is the task of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, and
they make proposals. However, we create necessary opinion complying
with interests of Azerbaijan.

We came to decision that during January session delegations of
Azerbaijan and Armenia should hold meeting jointly with Chairman of
the Committee, lord Russell Johnston, and exchange of views on
observation of the said resolution. It is very important for us.

Azerbaijan may present necessary documents. Council of Europe will
govern the course of observation of all regulations. We will maintain
Nagorni-Garabagh issue high on the agenda. During all sessions we
will draw attention of Council of Europe to this issue. In order to
control this issue, it is necessary systematically to organize these
hearings in the committee and bring position of Azerbaijan to the
notice.

As for visit of chairman of the committee, lord Russell Johnston, I
should tell that committee is completely ready to organize it. That
is, in connection with winter season visits to Azerbaijan, Armenia
and Nagorni Garabagh are postponed. We’ve come to the conclusion that
visit to region will be paid after winter session meeting.
