ArmInfo. Chairman of PACE Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh issue Lord
Russel Johnson met Heads of the Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations
to PACE David Harutyunyan and Samed Seidov.
During the meeting, the Head of the Armenian delegation emphasized
importance of the visit to Nagorno Karabakh and expressed regret that
Azerbaijan creates artificial obstacles to prevent the Subcommittee
members’ visit. This time, Azerbaijan has chosen a way of changing
the visit’s format. D. Harutyunyan recalled that visits of the
international institutions, including PACE, to Nagorno Karabakh were
carried out through the territory of Armenia over several years.
Lord Russel Johnson expressed concern over the developed situation
and told about a forced cancellation of the scheduled visit. The
further development of the situation is unclear at the moment.
