The membership of the PACE Committee on Nagorno Karabakh issue was
confirmed today. Member of the RA delegation Tigran Torosyan had
made an offer to revise it in January. The Committee will have 10
members. Leo Platvoyet who is preparing a report on missing persons
in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan is also included in the Committee.
"I think this structure of the Committee is far more balances and
efficient as the previous one where there were people who have never
engaged in the Karabakh conflict and are far from understanding it",
Mr. Torosyan said.
The visit of the PACE Committee is scheduled for fall but there
are problems: the PACE Monitoring Committee is to visit Armenia in
October, and the Committee on political issues is to visit Azerbaijan
in November; and the majority of the members of this Committee are
also members of the above mentioned two.
"Today's discussion with Lord Russell Johnston and the head of the
Azeri delegation brought us to the conclusion that the delegation must
visit Yerevan, Baku and Stepanakert in late October", Mr. Torosyan
said. Nevertheless, he mentioned that the visit may as well take
place in November.
By the way, Mr. Torosyan also met the CoE Secretary General. During
the meeting they spoke about the fuss made by the Azeri side about the
alleged arson of the forests in the area near Karabakh. The Azeris
are distributing the PACE delegates photos which have probably been
taken in Azerbaijan as there are notes in Azerbaijani on them.
Terry Davis asked the RA NA President if it is not strange that
the NKR authorities found the right way and turned to the personal
representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office asking for a monitoring
while the Azeris kept fussing. According to Tigran Torosyan, "this
is the continuation of the disgraceful behavior of the Azeris who
kept telling lies about Armenia and NKR". According to Mr. Torosyan,
Mr. Davis accepted that there are serious problems and promised
"to find solutions".
