The Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE ended with a presentation of a report entitled "The Role of the OSCE in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict" which, according to members of the Armenian delegation, was the first special discussion devoted to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution.
The three members of the Armenian delegation today presented the 3-hour presentation that took place on October 8 and headed by Personal Representative of the OSCE PA Chairman on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, President Emeritus of the OSCE PA Joau Suares.
According to head of the Armenian delegation, secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Party Aram Safaryan, the Azerbaijani delegates were after quantity, but the PA Chairman suspended their initiative and gave the sides a chance to have two delegates speak.
The Armenian delegates returned content with the assembly and assured that the speeches were balanced and constructive.
Member of the Armenian delegation, "Country of Law" (OEK) Party MP Khachik Harutyunyan mentioned that the OSCE Co-Chairs presented the history of the conflict and made it clear that Azerbaijan was to blame for the conflict resolution.
"Bernard Fassier mentioned that several times, but it was clear who he was referring to. There has been an opportunity for coming to terms on the Madrid Principles several times, but one of the sides has created obstacles," Khachik Harutyunyan mentioned.
The Armenian delegates also mentioned that during the assembly, the Co-Chairs made it clear that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can't be resolved through the application of force. On the occasion of his first visit to the region, Joau Suares wishes to get acquainted with the positions of the society, the authorities, the opposition and non-governmental organizations of the South Caucasus on the conflict settlement.
