When touching upon the Commission on Nagorno Karabakh conflict during
today’s press conference, Armenian National Assembly Vice Speaker
Tigran Torosyan states that the opinion that the Commission will
replace the OSCE Minsk Group is erroneous.

According to the demand of the resolution adopted at the PACE
January Session, a commission composed by the representatives of the
conflicting parties and of OSCE Minsk Group, chairmen of the political
and monitoring as well as Turkey’s representatives had to be formed.

As for Turkey’s role in the Commission, Tigran Torosyan is not
concerned over it, as the authority of the Commission are rather
limited and it not empowered to carry out comprehensive activities
in the region.

To note, the Commission will he headed by Lord Russell Johnston.
