DEVIS AVOIDED THE QUESTION
Support A1+!Answering the question of an Armenian TV Channel Terry Davis, Council of Europe Secretary General referred to the relations between Armenia and Turkey and connected them with the Karabakh conflict which has not been settled yet. Taking the chance of meeting him in the PACE summer session why asked Mr. Davis what is the logic for Armenia to accept the precondition put forward by Turkey according to which the borders will be opened if the NKR conflict is settled in favor of Azerbaijan.
Mr. Davis informed that he does not remember when he said so as he had interviews with many journalists in South Caucasus. In any case he is convinced that the Karabakh conflict must be settled within the framework of the interests of NK, Azerbaijan and Armenia, and that becoming member of the CoE, the two countries are obliged to find the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
By the way, when one of the Georgian journalists tried to find out the opinion of the Secretary General about the possibility of a referendum in Osetia and Abkhazia, he offered not to compare the case with that of Serbia and Montenegro. According to Davis, In Serbia and Montenegro there was an agreement between the parties to hold a referendum, whereas in Osetia and Abkhazia, as well as in Karabakh there in the ethnic problem.
