Armenian Delegation to PACE against Subcommittee on NK Issue

YEREVAN, JUNE 20, ARMENPRESS: The summer session of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly goes on in Strasbourg.

Naira Zohrabyan, member of the Armenian delegation to PACE, told Armenpress from Strasbourg that during the session and the PACE authorities and the so-called "chairman" of the Subcommittee on the NK Issue stated that the Subcommittee will hold today a session.

At a session, held today morning, Davit Harutyunyan, head of the Armenian delegation to PACE, made a report and presented the Armenian delegation's argumentation, according to which the resumption of the activity of the PACE Subcommittee on the NK Issue is not appropriate. Davit Harutyunyan stated that the Armenian delegation will not partake in the works of the Subcommittee.

Davit Harutyunyan said the Armenian delegation will not respond to the Azerbaijani party's charges, falsifications, and this will be the goodwill by the Armenian delegation. He offered the Azerbaijani party to act the same way and restrain from such a behavior.

"I think many members of the Assembly perceived this positively. Naturally, the head of the Azerbaijani delegation got hysterical about this. He called on the Council of Europe to demand the operation of the Subcommittee and accused the Armenian delegation of a non-constructive stance," Naira Zohrabyan said.
