Today the director of Armenian delegation in the Parliamentary Congress
of European Parliament David Harutunyan held a press conference. He
announced that Edwards O’Hara’s visit to the Southern Caucasus
countries is not definite yet. O’Hara is the reporter on cultural
issues of the Congress.
It is known that he met with the Azeri delegation.
Thus, according to Harutunyan, it is obvious even for the Council of
Europe that the Azeri side creates artificial conditions to persist
the visit of the reporter.
The head of the delegation said that the response of the European
side was not sufficient for the Armenian one. They said that
those cultural heritages are not only Armenian but international
ones. Raffi Hovhannisyan also mentioned this factor in his speech to
the ministers. And Armenian side will keep insisting on their visit
and interest towards those values.
O’Hara announced that he would agree on his visit to the regions if
his security is guaranteed.
