Chairman of PACE special committee on Nagornyy Karabakh Lord Russell
Johnston died, press-service of Council of Europe headquarters told
ArmInfo.
Statement by Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis says
"Everyone in Strasbourg is shocked and distressed by the news of the
death of Lord Russell-Johnston. He made an exceptional contribution
to the Council of Europe as a member of our Parliamentary Assembly
for 23 years and as President from 1999 to 2002. We have lost a great
Parliamentarian who passionately believed in a wider Europe where
everyone would enjoy democracy, human rights and the rule of law".
To recall, Lord Russell Johnston said earlier in an interview with
ArmInfo correspondent that the principle of territorial integrity
directly depends on how acceptable it is for the people living at that
territory. It is clear that for settlement of the conflict people
are more important than the factor of territorial integrity of the
country, he said.
