On January 25, in Strasbourg, at the winter session of Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe, passed discussions around the
report prepared by the British rapporteur of this Organization,
deputy David Atkinson in connection with the Armenia-Azerbaijan,
Nagorny Karabakh conflict, and was adopted relevant resolution that
is widely covered by the Turkish mass media. All news agencies and
newspapers of the friendly and brotherly country, informing the
readers about the PACE resolution, regard this event as a historic
step and success of the Azerbaijan diplomacy.

The Turkish journalists and political analysts have especially
emphasized that the European politics for the first time have named
Armenia a state-aggressor, and the Armenian community of Nagorny
Karabakh – separatist forces. Deputies of PACE have unequivocally
regarded occupation of one of the member-countries of this
international organization, territories of other country as an
inadmissible fact, have demanded from Armenia to withdraw the armed
forces from the occupied Azerbaijani lands, have called the OSCE
Minsk Group for greater activity.

In opinion of political analysts of Turkey, this resolution will play
a positive role in peace settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan,
Nagorny Karabakh conflict.
