Armenian Prime Minister: "PACE resolution on Azerbaijan contradicts to European system of values"

The department for public relations and information of the government announced that during the meeting with PACE chairman Luis Maria de Puig the Prime Minister expressed anxiety about the formulation adopted at the June session of PACE, according to which the democratic development of Azerbaijan is bound to restoration of territorial integrity.

According to Sargsyan, such formulation is too dangerous, threatens the current negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict and does not comply with European system of values and main principles.

"The principle of territorial integrity is the same norm of international law as the right of nations for self-determination and the statement, according to which the development of democratic institutions in Azerbaijan is difficult without restoration of territorial integrity, is a step back from the PACE-adopted principles", considers Sargsyan.

The summer session of PACE adopted a resolution on Azerbaijan, which contains a paragraph according to which the democratization in a country having a problem of territorial integrity is difficult.
