removal from PACE
[ 19 Jan. 2007 14:02 ]
Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe (PACE) will leave for Strasbourg to participate in the
winter session, the head of the delegation Samad Seyidov said, APA
reports.
Noting the importance of January session for Azerbaijan, Samad
Seyidov said the delegation will take an active part in the
discussions.
`The commitments are expected to be discussed not on the level of the
committee, not Parliamentary Assembly. Several other issues and
Armenia’s commitments will also be discussed,’ he said.
Samad Seyidov said that the delegation will raise Karabakh problem in
the Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh. Spread of different documents,
holding special meetings with the delegations of the countries
supporting Azerbaijan’s position are also expected. Samad Seyidov
said the delegation will also raise the issue on Armenia’s removal
from the CE.
`Armenia is the only country among 46 member states of the CE that
breaks the main principles of the organization, by occupying the
territories of the other country and unconstructive position in the
talks. Therefore Armenia’s removal from the CE should just be
confirmed formally. But this is not very easy, because some states
support Armenia’s position. The reason of this is strong Armenian
lobby in these states. But we will continue our struggle,’ he said.
