/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe decided on formation
of a working group to deal with the conflict settlement. According
to Asim Mollazade, member of the Azeri delegation to PACE, the new
group was formed on the initiative of the Subcommittee chairman
Lord Russell Johnston and consists of representatives of Azerbaijan
and Armenia. "This will be a joint group to elaborate a number of
questions referring the fulfillment of the PACE resolution. Thus,
the issues submitted to the discussion of the Subcommittee will be
first considered by the group," he said. Mollazade reminded that
the Subcommittee is charged with the task to implement the PACE
resolution on Nagorno Karabakh. "This is the principal task of the
Subcommittee. The structure will submit its report and action plan
during the PACE January session. The Council of Europe wants to
participate in the settlement process," he noted.
The Azeri parliamentarian said that the replacement of the OSCE MG by
the newly formed group is out of the question. He stressed that the
Minsk Group is the main format of mediation. "The Council of Europe
is trying to settle the conflict within the values it protects. The
council of Europe cannot connive at a tragedy within Europe. Using
its authority the CoE will render wide support to the conflict
settlement. We will certainly act within the organization. I believe it
will have a positive impact upon the conflict settlement," he stated.
