Jean-Claude Mignon says he will meet with the members of Azerbaijani
and Armenian delegations
Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubeyli - APA. "We considered the settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict at the meetings of PACE Bureau and Standing
Committee in Armenia," said President of the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) Jean-Claude Mignon at the press
conference on the first day of the summer session while responding to
APA's question about the possible inclusion of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict in the session agenda as a current issue.
Jean-Claude Mignon said that these discussions took place as a
continuation of his visit to the South Caucasus: "I held a lot of
interesting meetings in all three countries, especially, we held
interesting discussions with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
and Foreign Minister. As far as I understand Azerbaijan is ready to
fully accept the six terms of the Madrid principles developed and
put forward by OSCE Minsk Group. This is very important. Moreover,
Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister called me to inform Armenian Foreign
Minister about it and encourage him in this issue. The resolution of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict should not be necessarily discussed in our
assembly as a current issue. We should specify another format for it.
We wish to invite Minsk Group co-chairs or one of them to PACE and
hear them," he said.
PACE President said he will meet with the members of Azerbaijani and
Armenian delegations on the third day of the session.
"We will discuss the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. I see a
real desire to move forward the issue. Armenia's chairmanship of the
Council of Europe Committee of Ministers should be benefited from,"
he said.
