BAKU TO OK SOUTH CAUCASUS PA ONLY AFTER KARABAKH CONFLICT IS SETTLED

The formation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the South Caucasus is possible after the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflictonly, assistant to executive secretary of Yeni Azerbaijan ruling party, Milli Majlis member Siyavush Novruzov stated. To remind, a memorandum on South Caucasus PA was signed June 16 in Tbilisi. It should be also noted that the document was signed by Siyavush Novruzov himself, Georgian Parliament Speaker Nino Burjanadze and Armenian NA Vice Speaker Tigran Torosian. Novruzov confirmed that he had put his signature to the document but with a reservation that the cooperation is possible only after the Karabakh conflict is settled. The Azeri parliamentarian noted that he has nothing against such an initiative, however “no cooperation with Armenia is possible until Karabakh conflict is settled.”
