Fiorenzo Stolfi, San Marino Foreign Minster, chairing the CE Committee
of Ministers made a speech on the third day of the PACE winter session,
APA reports.

Member of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE Ganira Pashayeva gave
two questions to him after his speech. She mentioned that Azerbaijan,
Georgia and Moldova whose territorial integrity was broken, are
members of the CE for 5 years and asked when the CE will use pressure
mechanisms against the countries preventing restoration of territorial
integrity. Fiorenzo Stolfi said that the country he represents respects
principles of international law, especially recognizes territorial
integrity and sovereignty of the countries.

"Our priorities are the peaceful solution of frozen and long-lasting
conflicts. If you mean Nagorno Karabakh conflict, OSCE Minsk Group
is engaged with the problem," he said.

Asked why Committee of Ministers does not take steps on Armenia
ignoring resolution 1416, the chairman said that some resolutions
were adopted on the mentioned conflicts, as well as Nagorno Karabakh
conflict. But we observe that the document is not efficient. Anyway, we
intend to discuss issues on conflicts in the meeting of the Committee
of Ministers next week. /APA/
