Strasbourg, 13.12.2006 – "Following the "constitutional referendum"
organised in Nagorno Karabakh on 10 December 2006, and which is no
recognized by the international community, the Chairmanship of the
Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe reiterates its full
support to the OSCE Minsk Group and its Co-Chairmen in their efforts
towards a settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

It notes with concern that conducting such a "referendum", thus
pre-empting the outcome of the ongoing negotiations, cannot contribute
to the resolution of the conflict. It calls on all parties concerned
to intensify their efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict,
in accordance with the commitment undertaken by Armenia and Azerbaijan
upon accession to the Council of Europe".

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
