PACE co-reporters: "Azerbaijani and Armenian societies not ready to
compromise"

22 January 2007 [14:22] – Today.Az

"Armenia should use all possible means for the peaceful settlement of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Yerevan should use its influence on Nagorno
Karabakh Armenians for the peaceful settlement of the conflict," the
report worked out by Mikko Elo and George Colombier, PACE Monitoring
Committee co-reporters to Armenia, reads.

The report, on Armenian implementation of commitments before the
Council of Europe, is going to be the main topic of the PACE winter
session meeting tomorrow. The report reads that Armenia doesn’t take
serious steps in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

"Nagorno Karabakh conflict is the biggest obstacle to the peace
and stability in the region. The presidents of the sides have met
three times- in Rambouillet (February), Budapest (June) and Minsk
(November). Nevertheless, no important steps have been taken for
the peaceful settlement. Robert Kocharyan showed no optimism to
the peaceful settlement of the conflict during the meeting with the
co-reporters. Besides, no work has been done to prepare both sides
for compromise. None of the societies is ready to compromise," the
report reads.

PACE Sub-Committee for Nagorno Karabakh conflict is going to organize
the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian delegations in Strasbourg
January 25, APA reports.
