    PACE President's aspiration to resume activities of sub-commission on
    Karabakh is not so understandable, the head of standing committee on
    European integration and member of Armenian delegation to PACE Naira
    Zohrabyan told NEWS.am, commenting on Mevlut Cavusoglu's statement.

    "I definitely can catch the implication of his aspiration, induced by
    the Azerbaijani lobby pressure. He seeks to shift Karabakh issue from
    OSCE Minsk Group to PACE. However, the point is why the issue should
    be discussed within Council of Europe, while to date organization
    devoted almost no attention to state of human rights or elections
    in Nagorno-Karabakh," MP said, noting that Cavusoglu spoke about
    sub-commission back in the course of PACE January session. According
    to her, PACE President pledged to discuss the matter with heads of
    Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations to PACE during the April session.

    However, Zohrabyan deems that the issue should be discussed also with
    delegation members as she personally has a lot to say.

    MP also informed that Cavusoglu is likely to visit Armenia after
    April session. The official mentioned that she prepares a report
    about women rights in conflicting and post-conflicting regions to
    be presented during PACE session held on April 26-30. The report
    describes terrible sufferings of Armenian women and children in
    Azerbaijani cities of Baku, Sumgait, Maraga in the end of 20th century.

    Earlier, Mevlut Cavusoglu arrived in Azerbaijan and held meetings
    with local parliament representatives, stating the necessity to set
    up PACE sub-commission on Nagorno-Karabakh.
