"Monitoring can't stop until Armenia and Azerbaijan have settled
the conflict", Rene van der Linden, PACE President told the "A1+"
correspondent. According to him, this is a problematic issue not only
for the CoE, but also for the other international structures.
"I hope the conflict will be settled finally after such a long time",
the PACE President told a news conference in Strasbourg. He also
referred to a number of issues among which those included in the agenda
of the session and combat against terrorism. A report on "Alleged
secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers in Europe" will be
represented in the session. "This is not an anti-American report", Mr.
van der Linden said. He claimed that the authors of the report have
carried out much work and gathered enough information in order to
reveal the truth.
Although there are no issues directly concerning Armenia in the agenda
of the session, the Azerbaijanis will probably mention the name of
our country many times. For example, during the press conference one
of the Azeri journalists informed the PACE President that forests
are burning "in the territories occupied by Armenia" and this issue
must be represented in the session during the discussions about the
protection of forests.
By the way, Azeri delegate Rafael Huseynov has already represented
a document "About the exploitation of the mines in the Azeri areas
occupied by Armenia".
According to the document, Armenia creates danger for the future of
Azerbaijan and its people. In particular, they are concerned by the
fate of the gold mines in Gizibulag, Veynal and Zod.
