PACE President: PACE Sub-Committee on Nagorno-Karabakh will not duplicate OSCE Minsk Group

Once the PACE Sub-Committee on Nagorno-Karabakh is launched, it will not duplicate the OSCE Minsk Group, PACE President Movlud Chavushoglu said at a meeting with Speaker of the Armenian parliament Hovik Abramyan in Yerevan.

PACE Sub-Committee on Nagorno-Karabakh stopped work about a year ago after death of its chairman Lord Russell Johnston.

"Speaking about creating the PACE Sub-Committee on Nagorno-Karabakh, Chavushoglu noted that it was not his initiative and this issue was on the agenda before he took post of the PACE president,” press office of the Armenian Parliament reported.

"Nevertheless, once the subcommittee is created, but it will not duplicate the OSCE Minsk Group and will not have such mandate," Chavushoglu said.

In turn, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan, stating that the Karabakh problem should be solved within the framework of OSCE Minsk Group, said that any other mediation will hinder the process.
