The report by the PACE [Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe] rapporteur on Nagornyy Karabakh, Terry Davis, is unacceptable
for Armenia, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told a news
conference in Yerevan today.
He said the report was based on a subjective opinion of “one person”.
“We cannot agree with it because it presents an inaccurate picture,”
the foreign minister said.
At the same time, he said the report has no status, all the more so
because the new PACE rapporteur, David Atkinson, will have to prepare
his own report.
Asked whether it is not alarming that the new rapporteur, as was the
case with the previous one, represents Great Britain which is known
for its conservative approaches to the Nagornyy Karabakh issue, Vardan
Oskanyan said that whether or not the new report is based on the
previous one, it is necessary to work with the new rapporteur so that
the report does not reflect the opinion of only one man and that it
does not affect the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.
