    SECRETARY GENERAL OF COUNCIL OF EUROPE REGRETTED ABOUT ELECTIONS IN
    NAGORNO KARABAKH

    STRASBOURG, AUGUST 5, ARMENPRESS: Referring to the previous call
    by Council of Europe leaders to refrain from staging one-sided "local
    self-government elections" in Nagorno-Karabakh, Walter Schwimmer,
    Secretary General of the 45-nation Council of Europe, regretted that
    elections would again be held in the province on 8 August 2004.
    "One-sided actions are counter-productive. The future status of
    Nagorno-Karabakh must be decided through negotiations", said Mr.
    Schwimmer, who confirmed that the Council of Europe fully supports
    the efforts undertaken to this end by the "Minsk Conference" under
    the auspices of the OSCE. "I further welcome the recently revived
    contacts at the highest political level by Armenia and Azerbaijan to
    find a peaceful solution to the conflict, as well as the efforts by
    the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to foster
    parliamentary co-operation in the region", added Mr. Schwimmer.
