ArmInfo. Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis
concerns when he hears that peaceful means for solution of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict have ended. As APA reports, he answered the questions
of participants of the plenary meeting of the CE Congress of Local
Regional Authorities on May 28. Mr. Davis said that he had visited
Azerbaijan and Armenia for the several times and learned the conflicts
in the South Caucasus. "I was shocked when I saw living conditions in
the refugee camps in Azerbaijan. I expressed my ideas at the official
meetings with the leaders of both countries and I think it gave its
results. Certain work has been done for improvement of living
conditions of refugees since than. The root of this problem is between
Azerbaijan and Armenia and relates to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
There was war between these countries and both sides suffered from it.
In that time Europe had no information about the details of this
conflict. It was not discussed there because Europe was at work upon
former Yugoslavia and crimes committed there though same events were
happening in the South Caucasus too. Now the situation is so that we
try to protect human rights in both Azerbaijan and Armenia and intends
for soonest solution of the conflict. While entering the Council of
Europe, both countries took obligations for peaceful solution of the
conflict and I very concern when I hear that peaceful means have ended
and one of the sides is going to take military measures. In such cases
I would put forward the initiative for the CE Committee of Ministers to
take necessary measure, because it would be violation of obligations
taken before the Council of Europe". Terry Davis advised to the
conflict parties, as a friend of both Azerbaijan and Armenia, to look
forward for future not forgetting the past. "I don't say that you must
forget the past, but you need to look forward for finding solution to
the
conflict".
