"Somehow, we in this Assembly must try to persuade the international
community to get serious about the problem between Azerbaijan and
Armenia," said Christopher Chope (United Kingdom, EDG) today in
Strasbourg, opening a current affairs debate on the Safarov case.
"Tensions are rising all the time and, although there are political
statements, no one seems to be concentrating on the key issue, which
is how we enforce the international rule of law, as interpreted by the
United Nations Security Council - or the rule of law as we understand
it, which expects prisoners who have been condemned and duly sentenced
to serve their sentences and not to be glorified by their countries,"
he added.
"We must find a way to prevent such occurrences. We can condemn such
things, which I think we do, but we need to find a way of resolving
the issues so that two member countries of our Council of Europe can
live peacefully together," he concluded.
