    "Despite certain progress, my greatest concern connected with
    Armenia is that people were killed a year ago, but no one has been
    held responsible so far," Secretary General of the Council of Europe
    Terry Davis said today in response to the question of A1+.

    The task of the Police is to solve the criminal cases, and murder is a
    criminal case, Terry Davis reminded and noted: "I'm disappointed with
    the fact that a year has already passed, but no one has been called to
    account." As for the Armenian-Turkish relations, the Council of Europe
    Secretary General welcomed the latest developments. Mr. Davis said he
    did not know the details of the last meetings, but according to him,
    it was important for two countries which had not communicated for 19
    years to start dialogue.

    Terry Davis considers that history should be left to historians. "I
    understand the deep feelings of the Armenians connected with what
    is called genocide. I visited the memorial to the Genocide victims
    in Yerevan.

    Therefore, I understand this very well," Terry Davis said.

    With all that, he advises to look into future and welcomed the
    forthcoming meeting between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
