Being the Chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe, Mevlut Cavusoglu will be the new chairman of the Assembly’s
subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"The subcommittee has not yet been established, but it is expected that
I will be its chairman, Cavusoglu told journalists in Baku. It is a
quite normal practice that a subcommittee is headed by the chairman of
PACE. Former chairman of the subcommittee was also chairman of PACE."
"We want the subcommittee to be attended by the Azerbaijani and
Armenian delegations, and hope that its work will contribute to the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict," said Cavusoglu.
The President added that he intended to do his best to avoid "double
standards" in the way member states were treated: "We have common
standards that apply equally to everyone: we are in favour of democracy
and human rights."
