Jean-Claude Mignon intends to thoroughly deal with Karabakh issue

The issue related to the activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh was discussed at a meeting of the Bureau within the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Friday, PACE President Jean-Claude Mignon said in an exclusive interview with Trend today.

"The issue was discussed at the meeting held in the morning," he said. "A decision was made that the activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh will not be restored soon. We need time to consider this issue thoroughly. We should reconsider the issue at the meeting of the Bureau, to be held in Paris on March 9, to make a decision on future activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh at PACE spring session, to be held in April."

Mignon said that it is possible to restore and continue the activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh, but it is not the only variant.

"Other variant is that we will not create a new subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh," he said. "The OSCE Minsk Group will look for the ways to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We have no details yet, to talk about this more accurately. It is just a variant. We will conduct the discussions again in March in connection with the activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh. I intend to thoroughly deal with the Nagorno-Karabakh issue."
