EURANEST SESSION KICKS OFF IN BAKU
Tert.am
02.04.12
The EuroNest Parliamentary Assembly has opened its working discussion
in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Today's meeting will hear the Economic and Energy Committees; the
plenary session is scheduled tomorrow, according to Naira Zohrabyan,
a Prosperous Armenia lawmaker who represents the Armenian delegation
at the meeting.
"The impression from both committees is that the Azerbaijani side
has decided to refrain from its common style, [refusing to speak of]
the 20% occupied lands, the Karabakh issue and refugees. None of this
demagogic folly has been heard so far," she told Tert.am.
Zohrabyan noted that any attempt to distort fact and realities would
meet the Armenian side's reponse.
"I repeat, however, that they have so far managed to delicately
circumvent the issue and speak only of the key topics on the agenda,
energy issues etc.," she said.
The Azerbaijani news agency APA had earlier quoted Vahan Hovhannisyan
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D)
faction in parliament as saying in Baku that the status quo over
Karabakh cannot last forever.
Commenting on the report, Zohrabyan said that the ARF-D lawmaker
might have given an interview to the Azerbaijani media as no political
issues were discussed at the committee.
The Azerbaijani parliament members who attended the EuraNest Social
Committee's meeting in Yerevan also met with President Serzh Sargsyan.
