The PACE summer session was opened in Strasbourg yesterday. The
delegation of Armenia; Tigran Torosian /the head of delegation/,
Stepan Demirchian, Artashes Geghamian, Armen Roustamian and Hermine
Naghdalian is in Strasbourg since Sunday and participates in the
works of the session.
SESSION BY DEMIRCHIAN
The member of the PACE sub commission of cultural heritage, PPA leader,
the head of "Justice" bloc Stepan Demirchian raised again the questions
of protection of New Jugha historical-cultural monuments. It has been
decided since the PA previous session that the representatives of the
commission must visit the region, to be introduced to the examples of
vandalism on the spot but that visit was being constantly postponed
for unknown reasons. It was assued during the sitting yesterday that
the delegation would visit the region soon.
Stepan Demirchian has informed that all necessary documents have
been introduced, the members of the commission are informed enough,
they must simply come and assure on the spot. One of the members of
the commission has been interested from the delegate of Azerbaijan
whether the security of delegation will be guaranteed in the territory
of Karabakh. The Azerbaijani delegate, glancing at Stepan Demirchian
has said; "Why do you ask me, ask Armenia." Stepan Demirchian promised;
"I'm sure that the authorities of Karabakh will guaranteed for the
security of everybody."
SESSION BY GEGHAMIAN
The head of "National Unity" fraction Artashes Geghamian taking part
in the sitting of the PA group of the European Christian-democratic
and European people's parties round the work of Armenian delegation
in PACE yesterday counterattacked the member of Azerbaijani delegation
Mrs. Hajieva.
Issues on the commissions of the Azerbaijani delegation have been
discussed during the sitting, and Mrs. Hajieva has devoted the main
time of her speech to Armenians, as it is usual and declared again
about Â"occupied territoriesÂ".
She has said that the Armenians are engaged in firing forests at the
length of those "occupied" territories. She has declared that she
has been informed about those fires by satellite connection. She has
proposed the PACE to be engaged in prevention of these crisis and very
serious fires. Artashes Geghamian has made his speech after her. First
of all he has congratulated Azerbaijan for becoming a Â"cosmic stateÂ"
taking into consideration the fact that they communicate thanks
to satellite connection and then he thanked Mrs. Hajieva that she
highly marks the Armenian science as she connects the high weather
temperature with the Armenians. Â"While the Armenian department of
state of emergency has rather realistic appraisal of fires, the reason
of fires is the high temperature though in case of those hard weather
conditions the Azerbaijani party doesn't stop bombing of it artillery
addressed to the Armenian side though the document of mutual cease
fire signed more than a decade ago."
Artashes Geghamian counterattacked the Turkish delegates, too. The
head of Turkish delegation Mr. Merchan has proposed to adopt a draft
about violation of the rights of Muslims in the region during the
discussion of the issue of the freedom of the speech and religious
beliefs. In response to this proposal Artashes Geghamian has presented
the violation used against the Catholicos of the whole Armenians
in Istanbul.
SESSION BY TOROSIAN
The NA chairman, the head of delegation Tigran Torosian passed us
yesterday the following; Â"I can mention the matter of resignation
of the commissions of Azerbaijan among the issues discussed in the
sittings of the commissions. The Azerbaijanis produced 10 changes,
from which the commission only proved two editorial changes." The
Assembly has concluded that the major part in 14/80 resolutions
hasn't been committed and it decided to return to this question in
spring session in 2007 when the question of honoring commissions of
Azerbaijan will be discussed. Tigran Torosian considered the point
of fires as a usual Azerbaijan slander and the latters will try to
activate on the last day of the session when there will be a special
report about fires of forests in the agenda.
As regards the "counterattacks" of our delegation Mr. Torosian said
that those were simply usual disputes in political groups in the
result of which no document or decision is made.
