Member of Azerbaijani delegation to the Council of Europe Parliamentary
Assembly (PACE) Ganira Pashayeva addressed question to Fiorenzo Stolfi,
chair of the Committee of Ministers regarding the current situation
on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Stolfi said that Azerbaijan and Armenia undertook commitments on
peaceful solution to the conflict.

"Taking this into account we noted the possibility of solving the
conflict only in a peaceful way and dialogue," he said.

Fiorenzo Stolfi said that the meeting of the Foreign Ministers
[Azerbaijan and Armenia] in Geneva on March this year created hope
for the continuation of efforts for peaceful solution of the conflict.

He said that ‘referendum,’ ‘presidential elections’ in Nagorno Karabakh
hampers the settlement of the conflict.

"Council of Europe will never recognize such unilateral political
steps," he said. APA
