The Armenian delegation spearheaded by the Chairman of State and
Legal Affairs Standing Committee of the National Assembly (NA)
Davit Harutunyan has had several meetings within the framework of
Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE) session which runs
in Strasbourg from October 1 to 5.
NA public relations department informs that during the meeting
with Council of Europe Secretary General Tarry Davis the Armenian
delegation has attracted attention to the fact that Azerbaijan has
been continuously booming to failure the fact-finding missions of CoE,
PACE and other international structures to study the situation of Jugha
medieval cemetery cross stones by imposing preconditions before their
visits. During the meeting, the parties reflected on issues relating
to deeper cooperation between CoE and Republic of Armenia within the
framework of assistance programs.
At the initiative of Lord Rassel-Jonston who is the chairman of
standing committee at PACE, a trilateral meeting was held with the
leaders of the Azerbaijani and Armenian delegations on implementation
of PACE Resolution 1416. The focus of the meeting was the question of
expediency of the interim committee’s further work since the visit of
the committee failed only because Azerbaijan suggested a precondition
for passing to Nagorno Karabakh through the territory of Azerbaijan.
