'Establishment of the Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh by PACE is
first of all demonstration of the political will.
PACE adopted the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh in 2005 and PACE Bureau
passed a decision to establish a Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh. But
after the death of Lord Russell-Johnston, the first chairman of the
committee, PACE Bureau reconsidered the issue and passed a decision
to resume its activity. The Armenian side did not accept it.
But I must reiterate that any decision passed by the PACE and its
Bureau must be accepted by the member states, this decision must be
respected,' President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe (PACE) Mevlut Cavusoglu said at the press conference in
Strasbourg while answering Armenian journalists' question about the
activity of the Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh.
Cavusoglu reminded once again that PACE Bureau passed a decision on
restoration of the Subcommittee's activity in January 2011:
'If the Bureau has passed such a decision everybody must observe it. I
consider it important to repeat once again that this committee will
be engaged mainly in the humanitarian results of the issues and make
efforts for strengthening the dialogue between the delegations of both
countries in the organization. PACE doesn't intend to replace other
organizations in this issue. The settlement ways of conflicts in the
region must be found. The next meeting of the committee will be held
today and I hope the Armenian delegation will participate in its work'.
Despite the restoration of Subcommittee, the Armenian MPs refused to
participate in its work at the previous session of PACE.
