2013 can be an exceptional year in terms of resolution of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe Jean-Claude Mignon said in Baku.
`The Council of Europe Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh is out of
function, we are thinking of a new direction to replace it,' Mignon
said, APA reports.
`I am making efforts to bring together heads of Azerbaijani and
Armenian delegations to PACE during sessions and other meetings to
hold serious trilateral discussions on Nagorno Karabakh. Along with
these discussions, I regularly keep in touch with OSCE French
co-chair, get information from him about the process. We think that
2013 can be considered an exceptional year. This year offers special
privileges to both countries - Armenia and Azerbaijan for taking
concrete steps. This year is considered exceptional, because Armenia
and Azerbaijan are holding rotating chairmanship of the Council of
Europe Committee of Ministers this year. When the Committee of
Ministers was established, one of the main objectives was to prevent
conflicts, urgently solve the existing conflicts. I want to say that
this year Azerbaijan and Armenia have a chance in this regard. They
should take the chance, evaluate this historical moment and take
concrete steps to resolve the conflict,' PACE President stated.
2013 is remarkable also for the fact that 50 years ago `Elysée Treaty'
was signed to resolve the conflict between France and Germany.
Azerbaijan and Armenia can also sign a peace treaty for the settlement
of the conflict following the example of the 50th anniversary of
`Elysée Treaty'.
`PACE has all opportunities to reconcile both sides and reach an
agreement on this issue,' he concluded.
