The PACE chairman will receive the leaders of the Azerbaijani and
Armenian delegations this week.
"This meeting will discuss the upcoming activities of the subcommittee
on Nagorno-Karabakh," chairman of the structure Jean-Claude Mignon
said on Monday during the first day of PACE spring session, answering
a question on the future of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The decision, which will be taken at this meeting on the matter will
be presented at a meeting of the PACE Bureau. My position, not as
chairman of PACE, but my personal position is that I am against the
continuation of the subcommittee activity on Nagorno-Karabakh. Minsk
group of the OSCE deal with this problem, I will try trust to be given
to Minsk Group and the sides rely on it during the resolution of the
conflict settlement," Mignon said.
He added that it is necessary to move forward in advancing proposals
of the Minsk Group to resolve the conflict.
"They could have put forward proposals that would help to resolve the
conflict. Minsk Group should be more efficient and effective. I'm not
interested in the animation of structures involved in resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and do not see the need. This will create
confusion in such a sensitive issue as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
We are interested in conducting an appropriate and effective action
in settling the conflict. Otherwise, we say that the Minsk Group does
not perform its assigned mission, and it is wound up. My personal
solution is that the Minsk Group should continue its activities. It
is worthy to continue. From the beginning I was against the creation
of the subcommittee, my opinion has not changed, it is my personal
opinion," the chairman of PACE said.
If the Bureau decides on the continuation of the subcommittee, he
will treat it with respect, Mignon said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
