PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu stated the PACE subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh was not formed on his own initiative. It launched its activities much earlier, Mevlut Cavusoglu said as referred to by Salamnews.

No one in Armenia complains about the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh. No Turk is a committee member, Cavusoglu said.

Armenian News-NEWS.am reminds readers that at its January 28 sitting the PACE Bureau decided to re-form the subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh. Mr Jordi Xucl? i Costa of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (Spain) was elected subcommittee chairman.

Chairman of the Armenian delegation to the CE Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) David Harutyunyan stated that, with respect to Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, PACE is showing an obviously biased attitude.

He pointed out regular attempts to equate the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities and "some representative of some community."

"We will not accept this approach. We have always stated Nagorno-Karabakh is an independent side. If they propose inviting both sides, let them invite Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh and listen to them. We are not going to assume the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities` functions," Harutyunyan said.
