    OFFICIAL STEPANAKERT CONDEMNED STATEMENTS BY COE SECRETARY GENERAL

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The NKR National Assembly Standing Committee
    on Foreign Relations commented on the statement of CoE Secretary
    General Terry Davis running that "there is a great number of
    distinctions between the Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo conflicts, there
    is no separatist regime in Kosovo, the region is governed by the UN,
    security is guaranteed by the EU servicemen, which is not peculiar to
    Nagorno Karabakh". The statement was made at a joint press conference
    with Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian in Yerevan.

    "Upon completion of negotiations in Yerevan, the CoE Secretary General
    touched upon the issues which did not concern his current mission. We
    understand that Mr. Davis stated it while answering the journalists'
    questions, but the fact that in other cases this diplomatically laconic
    European official ventured to make accents, which, in our opinion,
    were worthy neither of him, nor of the authoritative structure he
    had honor to represent, provokes surprise", the commentary of the
    NKR National Assembly Standing Committee on Foreign Relations runs.

    The committee also noted that "all the nations striving for
    independence were forced to go through "separatism" at a certain
    historical period. It is not the fault of the NKR people that during
    Soviet Union's decline the United Nations Organization or the Council
    of Europe by understandable reasons could not establish "external
    government" in Nagorno Karabakh, which could have made the present
    independence legitimate".

    "Everything the UN did in Europe averting ethnic cleansings and the
    threat of genocide, the NKR people realized exclusively by its own
    forces using its indefeasible right for self-defense. If Mr. Davis is
    not informed about the facts, we have to remind him that on November
    24, 1991, by Azerbaijan Supreme Council decision the autonomous status
    of Nagorno Karabakh was liquidated and the ministries of defense
    and home affairs were instructed "to take measures for providing
    security for the NK Azerbaijanis. If this decision was not aimed at
    deportation and annihilation of the NK native population, then why
    doesn't the decision of Azerbaijan's superior authority contain even
    a word about civic and human rights of the NK Armenian population?",
    the commentary emphasizes.

    In sum, The NKR National Assembly Standing Committee on Foreign
    Relations noted that "the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, which has
    successfully repelled Azerbaijan's armed aggression, passed a
    certain stage of state government and is striving for democratic
    development today, has more legitimate grounds to be recognized by the
    international community, than the formation indicated by Mr. Davis,"
    the NKR press office reported.
