    Oct. 31--Today Azerbaijan is preparing to head PACE after Andorra and
    Austria, the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and
    Inter-parliamentary Relations of the Parliament, head of the
    delegation to PACE Samad Seyidov said during the meeting with
    delegation headed by Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe
    Gabriela Battaini Dragoni.

    At the meeting, Seyidov said the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE has
    always been active, brought opinion and problems of the country to the
    attention of the organization and will act so in the future.

    "Resolution No. 1416 on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, adopted by the
    organization in 2005 -- the success of the two sides," Seyidov said.

    He said Azerbaijan -- the only member of the Council of Europe, which
    has 20 percent of the territory occupied and one million people were
    driven from their native land.

    "Unfortunately, some of the structure and some representatives of the
    international organizations demonstrate biased position against our
    country. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not only a problem of
    Azerbaijan, but also a problem of the Council of Europe, and it has a
    negative impact on the image of the organization," Seyidov said.

    Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni noted the special role of Azerbaijan in the
    European Neighbourhood Policy and the promotion of intercultural
    dialogue. She stressed the importance of the Council of Europe Action
    Plan on Azerbaijan, and spoke about the importance of the Council of
    Europe projects implemented together with the Baku office.

    Chairman of the Committee on Legal Policy and State Building, deputy
    head of the delegation to the PACE Ali Huseynli, members of the
    delegation Sevinj Fataliyeva, Rafael Huseynov, Fazil Mustafa wished
    success to the guest in her new position.

    The sides exchanged views on other issues of mutual interest.
