The issue of the visit of the fact-finding mission of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will be in the focus of
attention of the Armenian delegation to PACE, Head of the Armenian
delegation to PACE David Harutyunyan told journalists today. He
noted that discussions connected with the visit of the mission
continue. "Member of the delegation Raffi Hovhannissyan is holding very
effective talks within the framework of the PACE Committee on Culture,
Education and Science. Meetings have been held with the Chairman of
the Committee, Rapporteur O'Hara and representatives of the Azeri
delegation. The negotiations are underway," David Harutyunyan said.
According to Mr. Harutyunyan, it's no longer a secret for anyone in
the Council of Europe that the ban by Azerbaijan to visit the areas
of concern was an artificial obstacle to prevent the visit of the
Rapporteur to the region. "Naturally we use this for propaganda,
showing the state of cultural monuments, and it's very natural
that these works continue. It does not mean that Azerbaijan
will open the doors tomorrow or will say that it withdraws its
objections. Nevertheless, we use these facts and we stress that it's
not only the Armenian but also the European legacy," the Head of the
Armenian delegation noted. Mr. Harutyunyan assured they will keep
the issue in the centre of attention.
PACE Rapporteurs on Armenia are expected to arrive in Armenian after
the presidential elections, Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE
David Harutynuyan told a press conference today. He noted that the
visit will most probably take place in early summer, following which
the Armenian side will receive their preliminary conclusion and will
have time to react. The question of Armenia's commitments will be
most likely discussed in a year, during the winter session.
David Harutyunyan also turned to the visit of the Chairman of the
PACE ad hoc Committee eon Nagorno Karabakh Russell Johnston's visit
to Armenia and Azerbaijan. He informed that Lord Russell Johnston
will meet with the leadership of the two countries to discuss issues
connected with the future activity of the Committee.
