The Armenian delegation did not attend the next meeting of the ad hoc
committee on Nagorno-Karabakh, the head of the Azerbaijani delegation
to the Assembly Samed Seyidov told reporters.

“The Armenian delegation did not attend the next meeting of the ad hoc
committee on Nagorno-Karabakh. We have long discussed this and decided
to inform the Bureau about non-participation of the delegation at the
meeting. All have seen that Armenia violates the unanimous decision
of the PACE Bureau and does not attend the meeting,” Seyidov said.

A meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian delegations to PACE had been
scheduled for Monday.

In 2005, PACE adopted a resolution establishing the ad hoc committee on
Nagorno-Karabakh. However, in connection with the death of chairman –
Lord Russell Johnson, the ad hoc committee suspended its activities.

Subsequently, the Bureau decided to restore its activity.
