In late August, the members of the Committee on monitoring of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will visit Nagorno Karabakh within the framework of the regional visit. PACE Armenian delegation member Armen Rustamian has stated that. According to him, that decision was made at the suggestion of the Armenian party after the Azeri deputies had again produced hysteria. Rustamian informed, in the course of the monitoring Committee meeting, the Azeri parliamentarians had introduced a document stating the official Yerevan was accused of provoking the Karabakh conflict. Rustamian noted the Azeri delegation had made a request to the monitoring committee members to send that document to the Venetian commission in order the facts stated in the document to be considered and the official Yerevan to be condemned for «aggression». In his return speech, Armen Rustamian noted, the PACE monitoring committee’s terms of reference did not cover the discussion of the Karabakh conflict. «If the committee decides to be engaged in the Karabakh conflict seriously, then the Armenian delegation is ready to introduce documentary evidence of that exactly Azeri party is guilty of unleashing the Karabakh conflict», noted the Armenian parliamentarian. Rustamian suggested the monitoring committee members to visit Nagorno-Karabakh and to get to know the situation there. The final report on the monitoring in Armenia and Azerbaijan will be presented at the monitoring committee meeting in Paris September 10. In the course of the PACE fall session, the report will be considered and approved by the European parliamentarians, he noted.
