Today Armenia has met most of its commitments before the Council of
Europe, RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian and Secretary General of
the Council of Europe Terry Davis declared at a joint press conference.

Turning to the Karabakh issue Mr. Davis said he follows the issue
with great interest. According to him, the societies in Armenia
and Azerbaijan have been long waiting for the resolution of the
conflict. At the same time, he noted that he doesn’t want to blame
anyone, including the OSCE mediators. "However, besides the Karabakh
conflict there are a number of other issues to be addressed in these
countries. The Karabakh conflict settlement derives from everyone’s
interests. I hope that some day the conflict will be solved, and the
Council of Europe will be able to help the people of Nagorno Karabakh
as it helps others," Terry Davis declared.

Mr. Davis stated that the Council of Europe attaches great importance
to the forthcoming presidential elections in Armenia, and specially
emphasized the role of media in the pre-election period.
