Armenia and the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs repeatedly stated the sub-committee on Karabakh in PACE will hinder the peace process and will do no good, Armenian MP says.

Commenting on Armenia’s cooperation with a new PACE sub-committee, Eduard Sharmazanov, secretary of Republican parliamentary group, said cooperation with useless structure cannot yield results.   

Jordi Xuclà i Costa was elected on Thursday new chairman of PACE sub-committee on Karabakh during meeting of the PACE bureau.

In 2005 PACE adopted the resolution №1416 on establishment of Karabakh sub-committee.

The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is a ruling conservative party in Armenia founded in 1990 after country’s independence. Incumbent president Serzh Sargsyan is the chairman of RPA board.
