/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I would be happy to see the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict resolved this week rather than till the yearend. But reality
says it’s hardly possible before elections," the CoE Secretary General,
Mr Terry Davis said when commenting on the possibility to settle the
conflict till the end of the year or before the presidential elections
in both states in 2008.

"Parliamentary and presidential elections are not a perfect time for
negotiations," he said.

"But months and years pass without resolution. It works against the
interests of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh," he said,
