PACE Nagorno Karabakh subcommittee meeting not held

Lord Russell-Johnston, chief of the subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh met with head of Azerbaijani delegation Samad Seyidov.

Seyidov told the APA that they decided to discuss this problem in the session in July.

"The composition of the delegation or a group to Azerbaijan or region was always discussed in our press. But these issues were never discussed in Nagorno Karabakh subcommittee. Both, Azerbaijani and delegations welcomed Lord Russell-Johnston's visit to the region. But visit of any delegation was never discussed," he said.

Seyidov said that Azerbaijani delegation attended today's debates. He said he does not know the reason why Armenian delegation missed the meeting.

APA Europe bureau reports that Armenian delegation today has not attended PACE meeting at all. Armenians did not attend the meeting of the subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh, as their proposals were not taken into consideration during discussions of honoring of obligations by Azerbaijan.

Lord Russell-Johnston told the APA's correspondent that he does not know why Armenian delegation did not attend the meeting.

"I only had 10-minute meeting with Azerbaijani delegation. Azerbaijani delegation supported my initiative to visit the region. Armenian delegation also agreed to it. My mission will visit Baku, Yerevan and Khankendi," he said.
