President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Mevlut Cavusoglu intends to submit a draft resolution on re-establishing PACE Subcommittee on Nagorno-Karabakh during the impending PACE session.

“The issue will be discussed at the PACE plenary session on Friday,” Cavusoglu told a press conference.

PACE is to start its winter session on January 24. Naira Zohrabyan, an Armenian delegation member, told Armenian News-NEWS.am that no Armenia-related issues are on the session agenda. However, a number of issues may, in some way or another, concern Armenia. Zohrabyan intends to speak about three issues on the agenda: CE reforms, exchange of POWs and migration problems.

She also intends to demand answers to questions of importance for the Armenian people from the Turkish President and Minister of Foreign Affairs. They both are to speak at the winter session and present their opinions on Turkish chairmanship of the CE Ministers` Council. Zohrabyan also expressed her concern over the fact that Turkey`s chairmanship of the CE Ministers` Committee will consolidate Turkey`s positions in the CE, as PACE President Mevlut Cavusoglu is Turkish as well. In this context, it raises the possibility of Cavusoglu’s idea for forming a PACE committee on Nagorno-Karabakh being put into practice. “If such a committee is set up, the Armenian delegation must boycott its activities,” Zohrabyan said.
