Strasburg. Fuad Gulubeyli-APA. PACE Political Bureau held its meeting
within the framework of PACE summer session on Monday, Samad Seyidov,
Chief Delegate of Azerbaijan in PACE told APA.

He said Political Bureau approved the agenda of PACE session. "Hearings
on the democratic institutions of Armenia were also included in the
agenda alongside with Azerbaijan. Co-rapporteurs on Armenia had to
visit this country for evaluation of last developments there. Political
Bureau heard their reports and decided to hold extraordinary
hearings on the situation in Armenia on June 25, because there
was no progress in the field of democratic institutions in Armenia
after the PACE appropriate resolution and advices". Samad Seyidov
said draft resolution on the democratic institutions of Azerbaijan
would be held on Tuesday. "We gave preliminary information about the
presidential elections at the meeting of Political Bureau and PACE
observation mission for the presidential elections in Azerbaijan will
be established after the June session. We will hold various meetings
within this session and I scheduled to meet with PACE president
today". Seyidov said PACE President Luis Maria de Puig would visit
the region earlier next month. "We will discuss with PACE president
a number of issues. Staff of the Sub-Committee on Nagorno Karabakh
has not been confirmed yet. We have already submitted the appropriate
letter and there are some problems from the Armenian side related to
the recent developments in this country. I can say the session will
be very interesting".
