"This Sunday's vote organized by the 'de facto' authorities of
Nagorno-Karabakh cannot have any legal validity. It will not be
recognized by the international community and is therefore of no
consequence," says the official statement by CoE Secretary General
Terry Davis, ITAR-TASS reports. In his words, " A lasting solution for
Nagorno-Karabakh can only come out of the political process facilitated
by the Minsk Group. Any future solution must respect human rights,
and if it is submitted to popular consultation, the vote must be free
and fair and open to everyone," sad Davis.
"The main responsibility for the settlement is with the political
leadership of Armenia and Azerbaijan and especially President Kocharyan
and President Aliyev. This is one of the accession commitments of
both Armenia and Azerbaijan to the Council of Europe," concluded the
CoE Secretary General.
