/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Council of Europe is not directly engaged in
the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Besides, there are
plenty of difficulties around this problem.

Numerous elections in the region pose obstacles to conflict
resolution. The improvement in the elections in Armenia might
positively influence on this issue," said Terry Davis, Secretary
General of the Council of Europe.

When commenting on the Kosovo model as a precedent for the solution
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Mr Davis said, "I can openly state
that I cannot comment on the issue now. The UN has not passed any
resolution on the future status of Kosovo yet. But I also understand
that this situation concerns not only Nagorno Karabakh but also
Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transdnistria," APA reports.
