/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Azerbaijan and Armenia have undertaken the
same obligations for the settlement of the conflict. As concerns
for Council of Europe's work to solve the problem, to accept the
membership the both states to the organization is priority," Council
of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis stated. Mr.
Davis said that if Azerbaijan chooses military way for settling the
conflict, it will be a violation of the commitments undertaken by the
republic to the Council of Europe: "I am sure that Azerbaijan will
fulfill the obligations otherwise it will face hardships," he remarked.
Touching on the issue of secret jails Terry Davis voiced assurance
there is no problem of the kind in Azerbaijan. "I do not have any
information about that.
I can tell you that like other countries I have asked Azerbaijan
government to reply to the questionnaire of Council of Europe related
to this matter. The Azerbaijani part is obliged to reply it, since
it is within the obligations. I do not believe President Ilham Aliyev
lets violation of these obligations."
Terry Davis said that the absence of the CoE office in Azerbaijan is
conditioned by the reorganization of the institute. "This will give a
chance to effective work of our bureau in Baku. The decision has been
made. I will appoint my representative in a short period of time. I
will focus attention on two issues during the appointment. First of
all, our representative office in Azerbaijan should be a model for
our offices in other countries for its effectiveness. Secondly, as I
take a liking to Azerbaijan, our office in the country should function
efficiently. I attach much more attention to this country as the CoE
office in Azerbaijan is vacant," he said, reported APA news agency.
