During today's plenary sitting of the spring session of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) the Armenian
side proposed a draft resolution on issues of regional cooperation.
Member of the Armenian delegation, representative of the Prosperous
Armenia Party Avet Adonts told "Radiolur" that the draft he proposed
mainly refers to the issues of development and deepening of regional
cooperation.
The question particularly refers to the regions where tension and
conflicts exist. "The text is very simple. There is no reference to
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Generally, no country is mentioned
in the draft - neither Azerbaijan, nor Armenia," the author said. In
his words, the resolution simply states the facts, their importance
and necessity.
Avet Adonts informed that the draft resolution was signed by
representatives of 20 PACE participating states. The document was
put into circulation today, but Avet Adonts noticed some interesting
pattern. "The interesting thing is that when suggested to sign the
draft resolution, the delegates of Azerbaijan and Turkey refused
to do it. I think that this once again speaks about the latter's
so-called "constructive" way of action within the framework of
regional cooperation," member of the Armenian delegation noted,
once again stating the fact that such attitude was demonstrated,
when the question referred to a very simple draft resolution that
simply reflects the importance of deepening and developing regional
cooperation in the framework of resolution of existing conflicts.
