YEREVAN.- Azerbaijan-initiated draft resolution on Karabakh conflict
settlement was not discussed during the NATO Parliamentary Assembly
session in Bucharest, said members of the Armenian delegation Stepan
Safaryan and Karen Avagyan.
Armenia considers the OSCE Minsk Group is the main format for resolving
the conflict.
"Azerbaijan's strategic goal is to achieve the adoption of various
resolutions in the European structures. They tried to do it in the
NATO PA, are still trying in Euronest, are working in PACE within
the framework of subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh," Safaryan told
journalists on Wednesday.
During several sessions the Azerbaijani delegation tried to do
everything to bring Karabakh resolution to discussion. Nevertheless,
the text of the bill was reviewed in Bucharest which caused
dissatisfaction of the Azerbaijani side.
"The text of the resolution contained no dangerous wordings for Armenia
and Nagorno-Karabakh, no such terms as "aggressors", "separatists",
etc. Azerbaijani delegation sought to include such wordings but their
attempts failed," he said.
Speaking about participation of the delegation in vote on resolution
on Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Karen Avagyan said Armenia did not
participate in voting as an associate member of the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly.
NATO Parliamentary Assembly session was held in Bucharest on October
7-10.
