PanARMENIAN.Net –
After NATO PA session in Riga, Azeri delegation announced that a
possibility to draft a report on Karabakh issue was discussed with
NATO Parliamentary Assembly President John Tanner. The head of
Armenian parliamentary delegation in NATO PA Karen Avagyan denied the
information at the time, Heritage party leader, member of RA
parliamentary delegation in NATO PA Stepan Safaryan stated.
As he pointed out in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter,
`Discussion of Karabakh conflict in any other structure but OSCE MG is
unacceptable. In the present case, NATO PA has to realize, the Azeri
initiative aims at raising the issue in international structures
rather than promote its settlement.’
`Should NATO PA accept the suggestion, thus supporting destructive
position of Azerbaijan, Armenia might need to give a serious thought
as to unhealthy atmosphere within the Organisation,’ Safaryan stated.
