Armenia-CE Relations
When Armenia and Azerbaijan were joining the Council of Europe they
committed themselves to resolve the Karabakh conflict by peace,
CE Secretary General Terry Davis said during a press-launch in
Strasbourg. The failure to meet this commitment will lead to very
serious consequences, up to the expulsion of the defaulter-country
from the CE, he said and emphasized that he will be very much sorry if
Armenia or Azerbaijan break their promises. Davis thanked the Armenian
and Azeri Foreign Ministries for constantly informing him of the peace
process. He reminded the journalists that he was raporteur on the
Karabakh conflict and is always keen to know about the developments
in the South Caucasus. Davis stressed the importance of the early
settlement of the conflict, taking into account the fates of the people
living in the conflict zone. Many people have died in this conflict and
the sides should spare no efforts to find an early solution to it –
a solution that would serve the interests of the nations of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh.
