In the latest report of the Committee of Political Affairs of the
Euronest PA issues related to regional security will be addressed,
the co-chair of the Parliamentary Assembly, Kristian Vigenin, said
on Wednesday at a press conference following the Baku session.
"Along with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Transnistria (Moldova)
and the Georgian conflicts will be considered. As a Parliamentary
Assembly, we strive to build trust between the parties," he said.
Vigenin said that the OSCE Minsk Group has 20 years experience in the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and in his words, he does
not believe that the conflict will not be solved for another 20 years.
"Azerbaijan and Armenia should help the Minsk Group to resolve the
conflict," he said.
Noting that the Euronest PA is not authorized to make decisions on the
settlement of regional conflicts, Vigenin said at the same time that in
the future it's not excluded that separate reports of this structure
will consider the issue of Karabakh conflict. He noted that at the
Baku session of the Euronest PA a general agreement on the preparation
of recommendations and suggestions related to the conflict was reached.
"We will also work out a form of evaluation of the implementation
of these recommendations to determine how each parliament fulfills
Euronest decisions," he said.
The second co-chair of the Euronest PA, Borys Tarasyuk, said at a
press conference that Ukraine has always supported the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan and supports an early and peaceful settlement
of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Euronest PA second session opened in Baku on Monday. Meetings of
standing committees and a working group on Belarus, as well as the
plenary session were held. Documents prepared by committees, together
with supplements and amendments to be adopted as resolutions were
discussed. The EU delegation and the national delegations of Ukraine,
Georgia, Moldova and Armenia attended the Baku session.
The Euronest inter-parliamentary union includes Azerbaijan, Armenia,
Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
