    PACE CALLS FOR FURTHER AZERI-ARMENIAN TALKS

    Baku, April 10, AssA-Irada
    The Council of Europe supports the continuation of talks on settling
    the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict, the CE Parliamentary Assembly
    president Rene van der Linden has said.

    "Both countries are CE member states and we are interested in moving
    the negotiating process forward," Linden told a news conference
    dedicated to the opening of the Assembly's spring session on Monday.

    He noted that no progress was achieved at the latest round of talks
    between the Azeri and Armenian presidents at Rambouillet in February.

    "But we believe that in the end, the sides should reach an accord on
    a peaceful settlement."

    The PACE president ruled out the possibility of altering the current
    format of the international mediating mission.

    "We will await the completion of talks brokered by the OSCE Minsk
    Group. But replacing the MG format with the Council of Europe mediation
    would be inappropriate," Linden said.
