Samad Seyidov: "Hearings on the democratic institutions of Armenia were also included in the agenda alongside with Azerbaijan"

He said Political Bureau approved the agenda of PACE session.

"Hearings on the democratic institutions of Armenia were also included in the agenda alongside with Azerbaijan. Co-rapporteurs on Armenia had to visit this country for evaluation of the recent developments there. Political Bureau heard their reports and decided to hold extraordinary hearings on the situation in Armenia on June 25, because there was no progress in the field of democratic institutions in Armenia after the PACE appropriate resolution and advices." Samad Seyidov said draft resolution on the democratic institutions of Azerbaijan would be held on Tuesday. "We gave preliminary information about the presidential elections at the meeting of Political Bureau and PACE observation mission for the presidential elections in Azerbaijan will be established after the June session. We will hold various meetings within this session and I scheduled to meet with PACE president today". Seyidov said PACE President Luis Maria de Puig would visit the region early next month.

"We will discuss with PACE president a number of issues. Staff of the Sub-Committee on Nagorno Karabakh has not been confirmed yet. We have already submitted the appropriate letter and there are some problems from the Armenian side related to the recent developments in this country. I can say the session will be very interesting".
