    Armenian FM criticizes PACE report on Upper Garabagh



    Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian said he was dissatisfied
    with the report presented by the former rapporteur of the Parliament
    Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Upper Garabagh, head of
    the British delegation in the PACE, Terry Davis.
    `It is unacceptable for Armenia', Oskanian said.
    The Armenian minister said he has no hopes for the new rapporteur,
    Englishman David Atkinson, either. Oskanian said he was aware of
    Great Britain's position on the territorial integrity issue but added
    that `the Armenian side is already studying the matter'.
    Terry Davis was appointed as rapporteur on Upper Garabagh at the PACE
    summer session in 2002, and as the Council of Europe Secretary
    General in June 2004.
    The PACE Political Committee heard the report on Upper Garabagh
    presented by Davis in Paris on September 14, 2004. On the same day,
    British parliament member David Atkinson was appointed as the new
    rapporteur on Upper Garabagh. Atkinson has already expressed his
    intention to meet with the conflicting parties. The date for his
    arrival in the South Caucasus region has not been reported yet.*
