As the report on parliamentary elections and re-run elections in
Azerbaijan was discussed at a meeting of the PACE Monitoring
Committee in Budapest, Dutch rapporteur, Leo Platvoed got restricted
only with 5-10-minute estimation of the situation in a mini-session
of the organization in Moscow and no discussions followed. MP Samed
Seyidov, the head of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation to the
Parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) told Trend
special correspondence in Moscow.
`A report by Platvoed predominantly contained positive milestones and
are estimated as success in the democratic reforms held in
Azerbaijan,' he underlined.
As a result of discussions MP noted that there was taken a decision
on closing the discussions over elections in Azerbaijan and put
forward the issue at June session of the PACE.
Seyidov appreciated the conduct of current PACE meting in Moscow, as
Russia will chair at the CE over the subsequent 6 months.
Taking advantage of the situation Seyidov inquired the Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov whether Russia was going to use the
CE's experience in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh with consideration that Russia is an
OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, the CE adopted a relevant resolution on
the Nagorno-Karabakh and these is Ad Hoc Committee on
Nagorno-Karabakh. In his turn Lavrov answered that `Of curse, any
experience is important for us. The OSCE Minsk Group is involved in
the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as it holds a
relevant mandate. I'm pleased to note that there is a progress in
the negotiation process.'
Basing on CE's experience Seyidov reaped from these words that the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan cannot be hence the topic of
talks.
Seyidov said that in this stage the EU does not hide its will to get
involved in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict,
while only the OSCE Minsk Group has relevant mandate. However,
unproductiveness and sometime inefficiency of the OSCE MG impedes the
resolution process.
