PACE RESOLUTION ON NAGORNY KARABAKH IS PECULIAR WITH ITS SPECIAL
SUBJECTIVITY: HEAD OF ARFD FACTION
YEREVAN, JANUARY 26. ARMINFO. <PACE Resolution on Nagorny Karabakh is
peculiar with its special subjectivity and it does not do such an
authoritative international structure as PACE to elaborate such
documents>, Head of the ARFD faction, ex-deputy foreign minister of
Armenia, Levon Lazarian, told ARMINFO.
He pointed out that PACE Resolution contained such provisions which
had not been included into international documents before. <The
document’s subjectivity is evident as when elaborating and discussing
the document. the opinion of Karabakh representatives was not
heard. Meanwhile,> he said, <when discussing Chechen and Abkhaz
problems. the opinion of representatives of those peoples were heard
at PACE.> <Despite the fact that such document cannot have a real
impact on the settlement of Karabakh conflict within the framework of
OSCE Minsk Group, it is dangerous that it may form a wrong public
opinion and it may affect the activity of OSCE Minsk Group
finally. After all, OSCE MG consists of representatives of
international organizations, > Levon Lazarian said.
Commenting on the current situation, he said that one could say that
due to efforts of Azerbaijan to transfer the Karabakh issue from OSCE
MG format into the format of international structures, a new stage
started in the settlement process of the Karabakh conflict. Being
aware that propaganda plays a great role in the Karabakh issue,
Azerbaijan has changed its strategy and raised the issue at
international instances. <We must admit that discussion of Karabakh
problem at international instances is inevitable, In this connection,
Armenia must focus the attention on the increase in the level of
parliamentary diplomacy and activation of lobbying,> he said.
