AZERIS OUTRUN LENNMARKER WITH REPORT ON NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT
YEREVAN, JULY 8. ARMINFO. The "Golden Opportunity" report on the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement by Special Representative on the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict Goran Lennmarker was not debated or adopted
at the annual session of the PACE Parliamentary Assembly, a source at
PACE PA has told ARMINFO.
The source says that the supplementary resolution proposed by Azeri
representative Sattar Safarov was not addressed by the Assembly. The
Standing Committee of Heads of Delegations decided not to send it to
any committee for further consideration. Neither was the supplementary
resolution proposed by Lennmarker considered by the Assembly: under
its Rules of Procedure, the Assembly cannot consider two supplementary
items on the same issue, and as Safarov's resolution was submitted
first, Lennmarker's was not debated.
To remind, Lennmarker's reports says: Nagorno-Karabakh itself wants to
be an independent state. However, the wider Caucasus area has numerous
small populations. The breaking up of the area into very small
independent states is seen as dangerous and thus not an
alternative. This is why the international community is not prepared
to grant independence to the various regions in the area, including
Nagorno-Karabakh. A possible option, however, remains an arrangement
in which Nagorno- Karabakh affiliates with Armenia. This could take
many different forms. Armenia desires security for Nagorno-Karabakh,
and this would form the highest degree of security.
