    Jan. 27--STRASBOURG, France -- The issue related to the activity of
    the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh was discussed at a meeting of
    the Bureau within the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly
    of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Friday, PACE President Jean-Claude
    Mignon said in an exclusive interview with Trend today.

    "The issue was discussed at the meeting held in the morning," he said.

    "A decision was made that the activity of the subcommittee on
    Nagorno-Karabakh will not be restored soon. We need time to consider
    this issue thoroughly. We should reconsider the issue at the meeting
    of the Bureau, to be held in Paris on March 9, to make a decision
    on future activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh at PACE
    spring session, to be held in April."

    Mignon said that it is possible to restore and continue the activity of
    the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh, but it is not the only variant.

    "The other option is that we won't create a new subcommittee
    on Nagorno-Karabakh and the OSCE Minsk Group will deal with the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We have no details yet, to talk about it
    more accurately. It's just an option. We will reconsider the issue
    on March. "

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group -- Russia, France, and the U.S. --
    are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
