There are still serious concerns in the Caucasus, both in the wake
of the presidential elections in Armenia and in the run-up to those
in Azerbaijan, PACE President said.
"I shall be visiting these two countries in July. I shall also try to
organize an early visit to Georgia, whose internal political situation
is upset by the threats to its national security and sovereignty
in Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia," Lluis Maria de Puig said in his
opening remarks to PACE summer session.
Commenting on the functioning of democratic institutions in Turkey, he
said, "It is normal for people in any democracy to have different ideas
and views. The main thing is that disputes are settled by democratic
means, in compliance with the Council of Europe's values. I hope that
the Turkish institutions will shoulder their responsibilities in this
area. But we too have a responsibility, that of providing Turkey with
a clear, unequivocal European perspective."
