PACE Sub-Committee on the Cultural Heritage will be discussed during
the organization's fall session.
`Mr O'Hara planned to arrive in Azerbaijan first. However, he wanted
to leave for Nagorno Karabakh from Armenia. It's inadmissible for us
and we have announced our conditions,' said Rafael Huseynov, a member
of the Azeri delegation to PACE.
He said Azerbaijan would like the rapporteur to examine the cultural
and historical monuments in Nagorno Karabakh. `Nagorno Karabakh is a
inseparable part of Azerbaijan and the rapporteur should arrive there
via Azerbaijan. Mr O'Hara represents an international organization and
we will ensure his security,' Huseynov emphasized, Zerkalo (Mirror)

Mr Edward O'Hara was scheduled to visit the South Caucasus late

the agenda Azerbaijan thwarted these plans.
