The resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
(PACE) on Nagornyy Karabakh cannot have a legal impact on the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict, but it may have a political
influence on it since it reflects PACE's official position, the head
of the parliamentary commission for defence, national security and
internal affairs and deputy chairman of the Orinats Yerkir
(Law-Governed Country) Party, Mger Shakhgeldyan, said in an interview
with our Arminfo correspondent commenting on the Nagornyy Karabakh
resolution adopted by PACE yesterday.
Of course, the document contains many provisions that are undesirable
for the Armenian side, but at the same time, it also includes points
that proceed from the interests of the Armenian side, he pointed out.
Among them, the MP named the provision that "the territory can gain
independence if its population is striving for that on the basis of
democratic processes". The people of Nagornyy Karabakh gained their
independence in a democratic way. Moreover, the document says that no
forcible decision can be thrust upon the people of Nagornyy Karabakh,
which also meets the interests of the Armenian side.
