"I have recently visited Armenia and Georgia, but did not visit
Azerbaijan. When I received Armenian Foreign Minister in the Council
of Europe a year ago, he insistently invited me to his country.
This was my first visit to Armenia as Secretary General of the
Council of Europe. I visited Armenia as I could find some spare time
in my schedule," asked by APA correspondent why he visited Armenia
and Georgia but not Azerbaijan, Secretary General of the Council of
Europe Terry Davis replied at the press conference along with new
chairman of CE Committee of Ministers Jan Kubish.
Terry Davis said that he visited Georgia at the invitation of President
Mikhail Saakashvili.
"I attended the summit on Eastern Europe in Tbilisi. We spoke about
the "frozen conflicts" in the framework of the summit. The recent
happenings in Georgia started a little before my visit. I could concern
myself with the problem and exchange views with the sides. I have
not received an official invitation from Azerbaijan. If I receive
an invitation, I will accept it with great pleasure. I have been to
Azerbaijan several times and was always pleased with these visits,"
he said.
