Karabakh issue
Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis in the framework
of PACE session in Strasbourg speaking of the functioning of the Minsk
Group that carries out observatory mission on the issue of Karabakh
conflict settlement announced, "The Minsk Group has invested a great
deal of effort to settle the conflict".
Touching upon the Azerbaijani proposal of rejection of the Minsk Group
and its reasons Terry Davis mentioned, "I don’t know why Azerbaijan
tries to come out of the Minsk format. I can only predict that it’s
a consequence of impatience. But all of us should be more patient".
According to Mr. Davis, we can be happy to dissolve the Minsk Group
when Karabakh conflict is settled.
EC Secretary General condemned the Azerbaijani party’s announcements
of violences and expressed hope that the solution will be found
soon. According to Mr. Davis, Karabakh conflict can be settled only
at the table of talks and not by military way.
Mr. Davis touched upon also the issue of the "political prisoners"
in Armenia discussed many times at this session of PACE. According
to him, there should be concrete examples and names in order to speak
of the politically sent to prison, and the Secretary General has not
similar facts at his disposal.
