TERRY DAVIS: THE COUNTRY WHO WILL FIRST APPLY FORCE TO RESOLVE KARABAKH
CONFLICT WILL BE EXPELLED FROM COUNCIL OF EUROPE

Strasbourg, January 24. ArmInfo. When Armenia and Azerbaijan were
joining the Council of Europe they committed themselves to resolve
the Karabakh conflict by peace, CE Secretary General Terry Davis
said during a press-launch when answering the question of ArmInfo’s
correspondent.

The failure to meet this commitment will lead to very serious
consequences, up to the expulsion of the defaulter-country from the
CE, Davis said and noted that he will be very much sorry if Armenia
or Azerbaijan break their promises.

Davis thanked the Armenian and Azeri FMs for constantly informing
him of the peace process. He reminded the journalists that he was
rapporteur on the Karabakh conflict and is always keen to know about
the developments in the South Caucasus. Davis stressed the importance
of the early resolution of the conflict for the fates of the people
living in the conflict zone. Many people have died in this conflict
and the sides should do their best to find an early solution to it –
a solution that would serve the interests of the nations of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh.
