Secretary General Terry Davis on elections in NKR do not correspond
to reality, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said at a joint
news conference with Ago Group head, Mr Per Sjogren.
"A letter was sent to Mr Davis with a request to explain what exactly
he meant when speaking about elections in Nagorno Karabakh and its
being a part of Azerbaijan. I am hopeful Mr Davis will reply to my
letter," Minister Oskanian said.
For his part, Mr Per Sjogren said any elections on the territories of
"frozen conflicts" are not recognized either by the Council of Europe
or the European Union.
"As to the future status of Nagorno Karabakh, this issue is in
competence of the OSCE Minsk Group. The CoE mandate does not extend
to conflict settlement. We just help to reach a political resolution,"
he said.
In an interview with one of Armenian news agencies CoE Secretary
General said the Council of Europe will never recognize the
presidential election in Nagorno Karabakh. Mr Davis also said that
Nagorno Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan.
