PACE SESSION NOT TO CONSIDER KARABAKH PROBLEM

YEREVAN, April 17. /Mediamax/. The Head of the Armenian delegation in the Parliament Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE), Chairman of the Parliament Commission on foreign relations Hovhannes Hovhannisian said today to Mediamax that regardless of announcements of the Azerbaijani side, it was not planned and to consider the Karabakh problem at the regular session of PACE on April 23-27.
According to Hovhannisian, it has been decided earlier that the Karabakh settlement will be considered within the frameworks of the OSCE. He noted that the efficiency of such an approach was confirmed during the recent negotiations in Key West of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents with participation of the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs.
“All the attempts to move the settlement to another format are doomed to failure,” Hovhannisian stressed. –0–
