NATO Parliamentary Assembly to hold discussion over Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
13:46 – 31.07.10
The NATO Parliamentary Assembly will not abandon the discussions over
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, despite calls by the Armenian
parliament, the press office of the Assembly press office told
Azerbaijani news agency Trend.
“[It is] very unlikely that the political leadership of the Assembly
will refrain from the discussions simply because somebody don’t like
it. There has been a political commitment by the Assembly to go ahead
in this issue.”
NATO PA has discussed the possibility of introducing at its next
meeting in Warsaw in November a resolution related to
Nagorno-Karabakh.
Earlier Armenian press reported Chairman of Armenian parliament Hovik
Abrahamyan appealed to the NATO PA head John Taner to refrain from
discussions over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict “in connection with a
possible report on the Karabakh problem.”
NATO PA press office said there are no preparations to publish a
report on Nagorno-Karabakh. However, there are plans to adopt a
resolution at the next meeting in Warsaw. The resolution will be
non-binding policy recommendations based on the deliberations of the
members, the same source said.
“Resolution differs from a report that tries to investigate an issue
and inform people about a particular situation, – NATO PA said. – It
is just a statement about what a collective membership of the Assembly
think should be done on a particular situation.”
