â€œToday it will be discussed whether to hold spring session, or not. It seems that the session will not be held in connection with the volcano eruption in Iceland. Final decision will be known todayâ€, he said.

Speaking about PACE President Movlud Chavushogluâ€™s possible chairmanship to the Subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh, Seyidov said that such step would increase the weight of the Subcommittee: â€œThere is such a rule, if the chairman of the committee is not elected, that leadership goes to the president of PACE automatically. The most important thing is the revitalization of the Committee. Each subcommittee would like to see them led by the president of PACEâ€.

Touching upon the issue on appointment of a new co-rapporteur for Azerbaijan to the PACE, Samad Seyidov said that this is likely to become clear in summer: â€œProbably, the candidacy of the new co-rapporteur will be known in summer. This procedure will begin only after Mr. Herkelâ€™s resign. And only PACE can make decision about a new co-rapporteurâ€.
