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.
