    Azerbaijan, Baku, 24 September / corr Trend News I.Alizade / Results
    of presidential elections to be held in Azerbaijan will be discussed
    at the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
    of Europe (PACE) in January 2009.

    "Issues regarding Azerbaijan will be considered during the winter
    session," Samed Seyidov, the head of the Azerbaijani delegation to
    the PACE, the chairman of the permanent parliamentary commission on
    international and interparliamentary relations of the Milli Majlis
    [Parliament] told Trend News on 24 September.

    The presidential elections in Azerbaijan will be held on 15
    October. PACE autumn session will be held in Strasbourg, France,
    from 29 September to 3 October. On its first day the session will take
    reports on elections held in Macedonia, Mexico and Montenegro, a report
    by Russian Speaker Boris Gryzlov. Major theme of discussions will be
    the situation in Balkans and Kosovo. Furthermore, the gathering will
    ratify the European Convention on preservation of national architecture
    monuments and hold discussions on Social health and family, Culture
    situation of Kurds.

    The agenda of the autumn session does not include any issue on
    Azerbaijan, as the country is in the run up to the presidential
    elections.

    During the autumn session it is not planned to hold a meeting of the
    PACE Ad Hoc Committee on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, or elect the new
    chairman of this committee, Seyidov said.

    "Over two days the session will mull over conflict between Georgia
    and Russia. Members of the PACE Ad Hoc Committee on Georgian-Russian
    conflict have left for Russia. The delegation will shortly visit
    Georgia. The session will discuss the results of visit and a report
    to be developed in this respect, Seyidov said.

    Azerbaijan supports the territorial integrity of Georgia and the
    parliamentary delegates to the PACE will come out from this position
    at the PACE session. "Azerbaijan recognizes territorial integrity
    of Georgia. We want solution to the conflict within the framework
    of international norms, territorial integrity and inviolability of
    borders, as well as peace in the region," Seyidov said.

    The delegation will leave for Strasbourg on 27 September.
