The two reports, which are debated Tuesday at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), could worsen the situation in the region.

French deputy Rudy Salles stated the abovementioned at Tuesday’s PACE Winter Session deliberations on the two anti-Armenian reports.

“It should be known before voting [on these reports] that it’s very important in terms of future credibility,” Salles noted. “Violence had declined in the region in recent times, but these reports could worsen the situation. The rapporteurs are not impartial.”

On Tuesday, the PACE Winter Session in Strasbourg, France, is debating PACE MP Robert Walter’s (UK) report entitled “Escalation of Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and Other Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan,” and PACE MP Milica Marković’s (Bosnia and Herzegovina) report about Sarsang Reservoir in Nagorno-Karabakh, and entitled “Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water.”

Ex-President of PACE Anne Brasseur had stated at Monday’s pre-session press conference that a large number of MPs proposed not to hold a discussion on the aforementioned reports.

According to her, however, the final decision—whether the discussion is to be held, or the reports should be sent back to the committees—must certainly be made by the Assembly.
