Members of the Armenian delegation in PACE have voiced their
categorical disagreement with the regulation of the PACE-adopted
resolution on Azerbaijan, related to the issue of territorial
integrity, at the PACE June session.
Member of the Armenian delegation Avet Adonts told reporters that
regulation stating that democratic development is impossible without
the settlement of the issue of territorial integrity is not Armenia's
but rather Council of Europe's defeat.
"Binding democratic development to any other factors does not comply
with the rules and the atmosphere of the Council of Europe. We have
voiced this position at the session and almost all participants agreed
with it, but, unfortunately, this paragraph was adopted at request
of the rapporteur", said Adonts.
In turn, head of Armenian delegation in PACE David Arutyunuan said that
such state is unacceptable for Armenia, noting that adoption of the
resolution had a political subtext. "The problem of Russian-Georgian
relations played significant role in this issue", noted the deputy.
PACE adopted resolution 1614 about functioning of democratic
institutions in Azerbaijan in the framework of its summer session on
June 25.
