Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. "New president of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe will not only represent France's
interests, but all 47 member countries", Head of the Azerbaijani
delegation to PACE Samad Seyidov told APA.
Asked about the effect of the PACE's new appointment on the
organization's work, Seyidov said that Jean-Claude Mignon of France,
who is expected to be elected as chairman, is an experienced deputy
working in the Council of Europe for a long time. He noted that the
nationality doesn't play a role in the election of chairman to PACE,
but the Armenians repeatedly accused Mevlut Chavushoglu of being
preconceived and lobbying the Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh:
"The candidate to this post has no right to lobby the national or
ethnic interests. It is impossible and illegal. The Subcommittee on
Nagorno Kasrabakh was established in 2005 on the basis of resolution
No.1416 and Chavushoglu wasn't chairing PACE at that time".
The term of tenure of PACE's incumbent chairman Chavushoglu, who was
elected in 2010, expires. New chairman will be elected in the January
session. Jean-Claude Mignon is the only candidate to this post.
