The work of PACE Ad Hoc Committee for Nagorno-Karabakh will not
be effective, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said during a
question-and-answer after the president's speech in PACE. He admitted
the European society's striving to support Armenia in the Karabakh
conflict settlement by means of this Ad Hoc Committee, however, he
warned that "ambiguous information" that may appear as a result of
this Committee's activity may seriously undermine the whole process.
Sargsyan called on the participants to abstain from this measure and
pointed out that regardless of any opinion, Nagorno-Karabakh was,
is and will be, even if unrecognized, part of Europe, part of the
European community.
Sargsyan stressed that the Ad Hoc Committee for Nagorno-Karabakh has
no special mandate, and the OSCE Minsk Group represented by Russia,
France and the USA deals with the conflict settlement process. "It is
impossible to imagine a more efficient format deserving confidence,
therefore, I think that the Committee's work will not be effective,
and I fully support our delegation's position in this matter",
Sargsyan said.
To recall, the Armenian Dewlegation to PACE boycotted the first
sitting of the re-launched Ad Hoc Committee for Nagorno-Karabakh in
Strasbourg on June 20.
