    Winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
    begins today in Strasbourg, France, APA European bureau reports.

    The main issue on the agenda of the session is the situation in
    Kosovo and children's rights. The delegation led by Samad Seyidov
    will represent Azerbaijan in the session to last till January 26. The
    head of the delegation Samad Seyidov told the APA correspondent in
    Strasbourg that though there is no point directly connected with
    Azerbaijan on the agenda, there are issues interesting for Azerbaijan.

    "Among these issues we can mention the discussion of Armenia's
    commitments of the PACE, as well as the discussion of the report on
    missing people in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia prepared by Leo
    Platvoet in the meeting of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and
    Population. Besides, the meeting of Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh
    will be held according to resolution #1416. Exchange of views will
    be held between the heads of the delegations of both countries and
    the co-rapporteurs on Azerbaijan and Armenian will participate in
    the meeting," he said.

    Samad Seyidov said that Azerbaijani delegation has thoroughly prepared
    for the session.

    "I think that the delegation will actively participate in the
    session. The decisions to be held in the Monitoring Committee on
    Azerbaijan's fulfilling commitments are more important for us,"
    he said.

    Constantinople Patriarch Varfolomey I will make speech on cultures
    and religions in today's meeting, the issues on narcotism and sexual
    violation in Europe will be discussed, the CE Secretary General Terry
    Davis will make speech and hold press conference. The discussion of
    the relations between Russia and Georgia has been removed from the
    agenda. The reason is that the ambassador withdrawn from Georgia
    by Russia returned to Tbilisi. The co-rapporteurs of the Monitoring
    Committee on Russia and Georgia are assigned to observe the relation
    between the two countries and to make a report in April session on
    it. /APA/
