PACE PRESIDENT SAID THERE IS NO PROGRESS IN KARABAKH SETTLEMENT

Progress in not fixed in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process. Work for formation of public opinion for a peaceful resolution is not carried out, PACE President Rene van der Linden said at a meeting with RA NA speaker Tigran Torosian, the RA NA press office reported. Characterizing the assessment as exact, Mr Torosian said the most important index in the Karabakh settlement is the opinion being formed in Armenia, Karabakh and Azerbaijan. This index shows that no one in Armenia or Karabakh propagandizes war and hatred towards another nation. However, the situation is quite different in Azerbaijan. This fact can be proved by the recent visit of Armenian and Azeri intellectuals to Yerevan, Stepanakert and Baku. The initiative was welcomed in Armenia and Karabakh. Azerbaijan met guests with protest actions and sharp criticism. All this conflicts with PACE resolution 1416, which says that war and hatred must not be propagandized. International organization will promote resolution of the conflict at the time when they give an objective assessment to the issue, according to Tigran Torosian When touching upon the Armenian-Turkish relations, the PACE President said closed doors do not lead to positive results. In this respect, Tigran Torosian said, the Council of Europe has the possibility to engage in the issue, for both Armenia and Turkey and CoE members and are obliged to build relations on the basis of European values.
