YEREVAN. - The Council of Europe is not the arena where the Artsakh
[Nagorno-Karabakh] peace process should be discussed, Prosperous
Armenia parliament group secretary, member of the Armenian delegation
to PACE Naira Zohrabyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. She commented on
the negative assessment by the PACE head Jean-Claude Mignon on the
establishment of sub-commission on Karabakh. `The PACE head has come
to a very reasonable conclusion. I absolutely agree with him.
Moreover, the sub-commission ever since it was established (2005) has
never justified itself. And in case of attempts of continuation, the
Azerbaijani side may make destructive influence on the peace talks,'
Zohrabyan stressed. According to her, all the attempts by Azerbaijan
to shift the discussion from the OSCE Minsk Group into another format,
including UN or Council of Europe, should meet a very serious
counter-action. `I very much hope that this is the final assessments
by Mignon and on Oct. 1 when the PACE fall session launches,
Azerbaijani delegation will not try to influence on the PACE,' she
added. The PACE head had expressed a thought during the meeting with
the Armenian Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan that the Karabakh sub-commission
does not justify itself.
