Re-establishment of PACE subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh to play a
disorientating role, PAP MP says


January 29, 2011 | 15:02

The resumption of activities of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh
at the CE Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) was undesired, but expected,
MP from Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Vardan Bostanjyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.

The MP stressed the re-establishment of the subcommittee is a
violation of a number of international treaties and agreements, OSCE
Minsk Group exists which paves the way for controversial issues.

`The involvement of other agencies will play a disorientating role.
Consequently, I oppose this structure,' Bostanjyan said.

As Armenian Nrews-NEWS.am reported earlier, the subcommittee on
Nagorno-Karabakh has resumed its activities at the CE Parliamentary
Assembly (PACE) on January 28, 2010. Head of the Armenian delegation
David Harutyunyan made a speech and offered convincing arguments that
such a committee will affect the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
Unfortunately, the Armenian delegation was the only one to vote
against such a committee.

Jordi Xuclà i Costa was elected on Thursday new chairman of PACE
sub-committee on Karabakh during meeting of the PACE bureau.
