Samad Seyidov: The issue on activity of Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh can be considered in PACE Bureau

“Whether the Armenian side will participate in the work of the Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh or not, it can not automatically effect on the subcommittee’s activity.

Only PACE Bureau can decide the subcommittee to start or suspend its activity”, Head of Azerbaijani delegation to PACE Samad Seyidov said.

Commenting on the question about the activity of Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh, Seyidov said that non-participation of the Armenian side in the committee’s work can be a reason of this question’s consideration in PACE Bureau: “The subcommittee has already held its first meeting and continues its work despite the non-participation of Armenian delegation. The subcommittee was established by bureau and held its first meeting.

The Armenian side has not participated and consequently it rejected the Bureau’s decision. Let the Council of Europe think itself what is the rejection of Bureau’s decision and pass appropriate decision. But the committee exists at present moment and I think that it will continue its work”.

The PACE adopted a decision on restoration of activity of the Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh in January, 2011. Spanish MP Jordi Xucla i Costa was elected the new chairman of the Subcommittee.
