Strasbourg. Fouad Guubeyli – APA. PACE President Mevlut Chavushoglu
said he would visit Georgia, Russia and Armenia in June.

In a press conference held within PACE spring session and devoted
to the results of his visits since taking the office of presidency,
Chavushoglu said he intended to discuss the ways of elimination of
the results of Georgian-Russian war, APA correspondent reports from
the Council of Europe. Chavushoglu spoke about the ban on Muslim
women’s headscarves in France. "PACE Bureau discussed this issue
this morning and we recommended to prepare special report. But the
Bureau decided to send the proposal to the PACE Committee on Science,
Education and Culture and then to prepare special report on Islam and
Islamophobia in Europe. Regarding my personal opinion, I am against
the ban on headscarves because it is restriction of freedoms. The
Council of Europe is always advocating for the freedoms".
