    As the report on parliamentary elections and re-run elections in
    Azerbaijan was discussed at a meeting of the PACE Monitoring
    Committee in Budapest, Dutch rapporteur, Leo Platvoed got restricted
    only with 5-10-minute estimation of the situation in a mini-session
    of the organization in Moscow and no discussions followed. MP Samed
    Seyidov, the head of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation to the
    Parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) told Trend
    special correspondence in Moscow.

    `A report by Platvoed predominantly contained positive milestones and
    are estimated as success in the democratic reforms held in
    Azerbaijan,' he underlined.

    As a result of discussions MP noted that there was taken a decision
    on closing the discussions over elections in Azerbaijan and put
    forward the issue at June session of the PACE.

    Seyidov appreciated the conduct of current PACE meting in Moscow, as
    Russia will chair at the CE over the subsequent 6 months.

    Taking advantage of the situation Seyidov inquired the Russian
    Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov whether Russia was going to use the
    CE's experience in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh with consideration that Russia is an
    OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, the CE adopted a relevant resolution on
    the Nagorno-Karabakh and these is Ad Hoc Committee on
    Nagorno-Karabakh. In his turn Lavrov answered that `Of curse, any
    experience is important for us. The OSCE Minsk Group is involved in
    the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as it holds a
    relevant mandate. I'm pleased to note that there is a progress in
    the negotiation process.'

    Basing on CE's experience Seyidov reaped from these words that the
    territorial integrity of Azerbaijan cannot be hence the topic of
    talks.

    Seyidov said that in this stage the EU does not hide its will to get
    involved in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict,
    while only the OSCE Minsk Group has relevant mandate. However,
    unproductiveness and sometime inefficiency of the OSCE MG impedes the
    resolution process.
