Samad Seyidov: I initiated proposal on establishing PACE subcommittee on â€œfrozen conflictsâ€

27 December 2007 14:20 (UTC +04:00)

Mr. Seyidov stated that solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict is carried out in the framework of format of Minsk Group.
â€œThe opposite side wants exclusion of the conflicts, as well as Nagorno Karabakh problem from agenda. The main duty of the other organizations, as well as CE on the conflicts is that they should not allow exclusion of these problems from agenda, they should contribute to it. I can not agree to the statements that PACE Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh does not do anything and even does not visit the region. The existence of the committee shows that the problem is on the agenda,â€ he said.
The parliamentarian considers that establishment of the new committee on conflicts shows that the problem has not been solved yet. He said the solution of the conflict is not PACEâ€™s business.
â€œWe should inform the world community about the conflicts. It would be better to discuss similar conflicts together. It will have greater effect, when proposals on conflicts are put forth in the UN. GUAM is also working hard in this direction. Why canâ€™t the Council of Europe express its position, while there are conflicts of Nagorno Karabakh, Abkhazia, Ossetia and Transdnestria? Why should Nagorno Karabakh conflict be regarded as an exceptional case? All conflicts are in violation of international law, contradict international norms. I am glad that Andres Herkel also shares this proposal,â€ he said. /APA/
