Azerbaijan was the only country which opposed the draft treaty of
establishing peace in Southern Caucasus which was represented by
deputy Adrian Severin in the PACE fall session. The decision was due
to the fact that the treaty finds peace, cooperation and integration
in the region, as well as the atmosphere of mutual trust important.
NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan told a news conference today that the report
by Severin was acceptable both for Armenia and for Georgia. "Azerbaijan
sang the same old song that they see no chance of signing resolutions
until the Karabakh conflict is settled".
By the way, according to Tigran Torosyan, the attitude of the Azeri
delegation was not accepted seriously by the head of the Committee
who is a Turk and by the author of the draft. He also reminded that
a similar report has been adopted about the Balkans, taking into
account the Kosovo conflict.
Tigran Torosyan also gave information about three more reports which
are of interest for Armenia but which are not ready yet. They were the
report on the condition of women in South Caucasus by Vera Oskina from
Russia, report on people missing in action in South Caucasus, and the
report about the commitments of Armenia by the Monitoring committee.
Tigran Torosyan mentioned that the Committee has discussed the
course of honoring commitments, the process of adopting new laws in
compliance with the Constitution, as well as the steps taken towards
the organization of free and fair elections in 2007.
Tigran Torosyan mentioned that after their recent visit to Armenia
the members of the Monitoring Committee were on the whole content
with the process of honoring commitments by Armenia. "At this rate
we will have a successful report in January", he added.
