ArmInfo. The PACE Subcommittee on Karabakh is a useless structure, and
the cooperation with it cannot be effective, Secretary of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia parliamentary faction Eduard Sharmazanov
said when commenting on the decision of the PACE Bureau to re-launch
the special committee on Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Armenia and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen have repeatedly stated
that this commission hinders the peace process and cannot be useful in
this connection", he said.
On January 28 the PACE Bureau took a decision on re-launching the
special committee on Nagorno- Karabakh, and Spanish MP Jordi Xucla i
Costa has been appointed its chairman.
Earlier Head of the Armenian Delegation to PACE David Haroutyunyan
told ArmInfo that PACE President, Turkish parliamentarian Mevlut
Cavusoglu has probably played his role in the matter of re- launch of
the specified special committee.
"The Armenian and Azerbaijani Delegations expressed their positions.
Our opinion was that creation of this subcommittee is simply
ineffective from two points of view: firstly, it will create a new
arena for aggressive rhetoric, secondly, allegedly having no goal to
avoid the issues being discussed within the OSCE Minsk Group, it will
all the same get into that trap", said Haroutyunyan.
"However, after the PACE President expressed his position and said
that the presiding committee supports that idea, no more questions
arose, and none of the Bureau members actively objected to that", said
Haroutyunyan.
