    AZERBAIJAN'S COMMITMENTS TO PACE DISCUSSED IN PACE MONITORING COMMITTEE

    Trend News Agency, Azerbaijan
    March 28 2007

    Azerbaijan, Baku/ Trend corr. I. Alizadeh / Samad Seyyidov, the Head
    of the Azerbaijani Parliamentary Delegation to PACE, has told Trend
    that the report on Azerbaijan's fulfilling its commitments to PACE
    has been discussed during the meeting of the PACE (Parliamentary
    Assembly of Council of Europe) in Strasburg today.

    He noted that the discussions, which have been held in the Monitoring
    Committee, had been very fruitful.

    "We expected that these discussions would be held fruitfully, and it
    passed as we had expected. During the meeting of the PACE Monitoring
    Committee, the report about Azerbaijan's commitments to PACE, prepared
    by the PACE Co-Rapporteurs for Azerbaijan was discussed.

    Andreas Herkel, the Co-Rapporteur for Azerbaijan, also gave a speech
    during the meeting. The other Co-Rapporteur, Tony Lloyd, sent a letter,
    since he was not able to participate at the meeting. His letter
    was read to the participants. Therefore, it was a very important
    issue. Those who gave their speeches during the meeting, highly
    appreciated the level of Azerbaijan's fulfilling its commitments to
    the Council of Europe," added Mr. Seyyidov.

    He noted that after the discussions, the participants made a decision
    to discuss another report concerning our country's fulfilling its
    commitments to PACE, but with taking into consideration proposals put
    forward by the Azerbaijani party, particularly those ones connected
    with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict during the forthcoming spring
    session to be held in April.

    Mr. Seyyidov said that the report prepared by the Co-Rapporteurs might
    be considered as a satisfactory one for Azerbaijan. "The report may
    be subjected to constructive criticism. But, on the whole, we have
    been satisfied with this document," he said.

    The Head of the Azerbaijani Parliamentary Delegation to PACE also added
    that the last incident happened in the Azerbaijani Parliament of the
    Milli Majlis , as well as the detention of a Member of the Azerbaijani
    Parliament, Husseyn Abdullayev had not been included into the report,
    which had been discussed by the PACE Monitoring Committee.
