Germany, Berlin / Trend corr A. Maharramli / The head of the
subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh of the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe (PACE) lord Russell Johnston believes that the
Berlin discussions over lingered conflicts will not have positive
results. "I do not expect a special progress to occur as a result of
the discussions," he said in Berlin on 5 November.
The Monitoring Committee of PACE and the German Institute for
International Affairs and Security organized discussions over lingered
conflicts (Nagorno-Karabakh, Trans-Dniester, Georgian-Abkhazian,
and Georgian-Ossetian) in Berlin on 5 to 6 November. The forum
involves both official representatives of the conflicting countries
and international experts.
Russell Johnston reported that the meeting would enable an exchange
of views on peaceful settlement of the conflicts and once more to
study the viewpoints and positions of the sides.
Azerbaijan is represented at the Berlin forum by the head of the Office
on Planning of Foreign Policy & Strategic Researches Tofig Musayev,
the head of the Azerbaijani PACE delegation Samad Seyidov, and MPs.
