STRASBOURG, France
The following information was released by the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE):
On the occasion of its meeting in Yerevan on 31 May 2013, the Standing
Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
(PACE) made the following statement:
The search for a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is
a commitment taken by Armenia and by Azerbaijan upon their accession
to the Council of Europe. In this context, we express our full support
to the negotiations within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, on
the basis of the Madrid principles which establish a framework for
resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Assembly urges Armenia and Azerbaijan to seize the opportunity
offered by their respective chairmanships of the Committee of
Ministers of the Council of Europe, to promote reconciliation between
these two member states and their populations, as well as to intensify
the search, in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, for a solution
to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This should be reflected in the
respective priorities of these two chairmanships.
Our Assembly is ready to do everything it can, through parliamentary
diplomacy, to facilitate dialogue and establish a climate of trust
between parliamentarians from both member States.
