Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubeyli - APA. "I will meet with heads of
Azerbaijani and Armenian delegations this week.
I will discuss with them the state of Subcommittee on Nagorno
Karabakh and the decisions we will adopt will be sent to PACE Bureau
for approval", said PACE President Jean Claude Mignon at the press
conference within the organization's summer session.
"I wouldn't like to speak on behalf of the Bureau, my personal
opinion on this issue is that I didn't support the activity of
the abovementioned Subcommittee in the Assembly, because the Minsk
Group is engaged in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
and certain work is carried out in this direction. I would trust in
the Minsk Group's activity in the settlement of this conflict. In my
opinion, the Minsk Group must work more effectively, but I don't see
a necessity in establishing different institutions for the solution
of one problem, because the activity of several organizations toward
the conflict solution can cause confusion. Irrespective of our
trust in the Minsk Group's activity, this organization is engaged
in the settlement of this conflict today. As for me, I opposed the
establishment of Subcommittee and I haven't changed my position on
this issue. But I say once again, it is my personal opinion and it
is a position of neither the Assembly's Bureau nor the PACE. If the
bureau adopts a decision differing from my position, as PACE president,
I will respect this decision and work for its realization".
