    PACE to assist in Karabakh settlement

    Baku. (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - The Parliamentary Assembly of the
    Council of Europe (PACE) will assist the settlement of the Nagorno-
    Karabakh conflict.

    The Parliamentary Assembly can and wants to assist in resolving the
    conflict, although the OSCE Minsk Group is already doing so, PACE
    Secretary General Bruno Haller said after Thursday negotiations with
    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammedyarov.

    He said that PACE will not substitute for the OSCE in the Karabakh
    settlement process.

    Haller lauded his negotiations with the Azerbaijani foreign minister,
    which focused on stronger inter-parliamentary cooperation between
    Baku and Strasbourg and PACE's role in the Karabakh settlement
    process.

    Baku lost control of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjoining districts
    during its conflict with Armenia in the 1990s. The UN Security
    Council has denounced the occupation of Azerbaijani lands and
    demanded the withdrawal of Armenian military units.

    The U.S., Russian and French co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group are
    assisting the Karabakh settlement.
