January 25 in Strasbourg the Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations
met in the framework of the PACE ad hoc Commission on Nagorno
Karabakh. Charmin of the Commission Lord Russell Johnston presented
the further deeds. Agreements were reached on a number of questions:
first, in the first half of 2007 the Commission will visit the region –
Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh – to have meetings; second,
everything should be done to accomplish Resolution #1416; third,
propaganda of hatred and military rhetoric should be stopped; fourth,
the meetings should continue for the benefit of further development
of relations.

According to the Chairman of RA National Assembly, head of the
Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe Tigran Torosyan, one can speak about the results of
such meetings only after speeches are voiced during the next PACE
session, which will include no propaganda of hatred, dissemination of
insincerity. Then we can say that such meetings are useful. Otherwise,
it is hard to anticipate any use, since such meeting are not targeted
at the resolution of the issue, but can promote the improvement of
the atmosphere and relative normalization of relations.
