    A JOINT WORKING GROUP ON KARABAKH FORMED AT THE PACE

    DeFacto Agency, Armenia
    Oct 18 2005

    A working group on the Karabakh issue has been formed at the PACE.

    The corresponding decision was rendered at the latest sitting of
    the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Subcommittee on Nagorno
    Karabakh.

    According to PanARMENIAN.Net, a member of the Azeri delegation at the
    PACE Asim Mollazade stated the new working group had been formed on
    the initiative of the Subcommittee Chair lord Russell Johnston. Both
    Azerbaijan and Armenia are represented in the group. "It is a joint
    working group. The group's sitting was held at the PACE latest session,
    and we arranged to conduct a number of meetings, discuss the program
    of the Subcommittee activity", noted Mollazade.

    According to Mollazade, the Subcommittee headed by Russell Johnston
    has been formed to implement a resolution on the Karabakh conflict
    adopted by the PACE. "It is the Subcommittee's principal goal. The
    structure is to present its report and working plan at the PACE
    January session, inform of the work done and planned for the future.

    We are currently working over the plan of measures referring to the
    PACE resolution implementation. Principal goal in the adoption of
    the resolution is promotion of the conflict settlement. The Council
    of Europe is eager to participate in the settlement of the Nagorno
    Karabakh problem".

    The Azeri Parliamentarian noted substitution of the OSCE Minsk group
    for the new working group was not subject for discussions. He stressed
    the OSCE MG was the main format of mediation between the conflict
    sides. "The Council of Europe is trying to settle the conflict in the
    aspect of the values it defends. The resolution was adopted before
    that, and the work being done is based on the document". In his words,
    the latest steps undertaken by the CE testify to the organization's
    wish to actively participate in the Karabakh conflict settlement. "The
    Council of Europe cannot close eyes to the tragedy within Europe. Using
    its authority the CE will render all - round assistance to the conflict
    settlement in the international organizations as well. Naturally,
    we'll go on acting within the frames of the organization. I believe
    it will have a positive influence on the conflict settlement", stated
    Asim Mollazade.
