MEETING OF AZERBAIJANI AND ARMENIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS TO BE HELD IN
STRASBURG, END OF JANUARY, CHAIRED BY LORD RUSSELL JOHNSTON
A meeting between the parliamentarians of Azerbaijan and Armenia will
be held in Strasburg at the end of January, 2007, chaired by the
Chairman of PACE Subcommittee for Karabakh, lord Russell Johnston. As
the Baku "Trend" informs, lord Russell told about it the day before
in Baku.
According to him, the meeting will be held within the frames of PACE
session. "I think it is important for the two states, despite they
are the members of the Council of Europe, to start talking with each
other separately from the existing dialogue, which goes on at the
level of Presidents as, for instance, the recent meeting of Ilham
Aliyev and Robert Kocharyan", lord Russell said. He added the
parliamentarians have to just meet at first and get to know each
other. "It is unnecessary to immediately touch upon the serious
issues. It is not my purpose to immediately and magically resolve all
the problems, it is impossible. It is necessary to try to create a
better atmosphere and then to discuss the issues in which a dialogue
can be achieved, for example, the issue on transport means", he
added.
