    PACE CHAIRMAN: "CE RULES OUT ARMED WAY OF NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT"

    PACE chairman Luis Maria de Puig announced that the Council of Europe
    sees the resolution of the Karabakh problem in the framework of
    international law and only peacefully, ruling out any armed resolution.

    "PACE recognizes the principle of territorial integrity of the
    countries and nations right for self-determination", said Luis Maria
    de Puig Tuesday in Yerevan during the meeting with the Armenian
    delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly.

    According to the public relations department of the National Assembly
    of the country, de Puig said though the Council of Europe did not
    play a great role in the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict but
    in case of the need it may contribute to organization of a dialogue
    in the parliamentary frames.

    The PACE chairman considers it necessary to assist to the activity of
    the OSCE Minsk Group on the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
    which makes great effort in this direction, according to him.

    In turn, member of the Armenian delegation in PACE Avet Adonts,
    speaking about the recent PACE resolution, in line with which
    democratic development is difficult without resolution of the issues
    of the territorial integrity of the state, noted that it creates
    reservation for the development of democratic processes for any
    country, especially, Azerbaijan, Moldova and Georgia.

    "At the same time, Armenia, which has been isolated since 1991, does
    not present any preconditions for conduction of democratic processes",
    noted Adonts, calling it a demonstration of double standards.

    Arutyunyan called to assist the Minsk Group and voiced surprise that
    the press release, posted at the CE website due to Puig's visit to
    Baku, contains a formulation, according to which "it is necessary to
    find solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict on the basis of the
    principle of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan only peacefully".

    According to Arutyunyan, this formulation threats the peace process.

    In this connection, Puig said he is responsible for his words and not
    formulations, attributed to him by mass medias, which do not reflect
    the reality.

    According to the PACE chairman, he said that "the Parliamentary
    Assembly of the Council of Europe recognizes principle of territorial
    integrity of states and national right for self-determination".
