NK issue transferred from assembly hall to the PACE backstage (video)
There has been no lack of clashes of opinions on the Karabakh conflict and four-day April war at the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). The Azerbaijani delegation recalled that until April 1 nobody and nothing hindered Azerbaijan to be a democratic country; Azerbaijan’s delegate Ganira Pashayeva said that for already more than 20 years Armenia has occupied the territories of Azerbaijan and it is dangerous not only for the South Caucasus, but also for Europe; Europe must do something. The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker didn’t intend to speak long and only answered, “Stop firing!” The French, in general, have much to say to Azerbaijanis. French MP Francois Rochebloine notes that the soldiers of Aliyev acted like beasts towards the population of the Nagorno-Karabakh. The topic of the Karabakh issue was transferred from the assembly hall to the PACE backstage. President Pedro Agramunt wrote on his Twitter page that he had met with the heads of Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations and told them that without the dialogue between the sides there will be no peace. Hermine Naghdalyan hasn’t forgotten who is speaking about dialogue; a person, who spoke in support of Azerbaijani during the days of war. By the way, Mrs Naghdalyan told “A1+” that the stance of the PACE somehow tired even the members of that organization, as according to the Head of the Armenian delegation, the Assembly has diverted from its mandate. Most of the members of the Parliamentary Assembly, says Mrs Naghdalyan, understand that they have no tools to influence the conflict.
