YEREVAN.- Not only Armenia but the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs as well said about inexpediency to resume work of the PACE sub-committee on Karabakh, said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian.

Speaking at a press conference in Strasbourg Nalbandian reminded of Minsk Group’s position: resumption of sub-committee on Karabakh cannot benefit to the Karabakh peace process, the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent reports.

This structure was of no benefit and its restoration is senseless as it has no mandate of compulsory decisions on the Karabakh peace process, he said.

He recalled that the peace process progresses within the framework of OSCE Minsk Group and Russia in particular.

“The significant contribution of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to the Karabakh peace process is well known. The Kazan meeting is held on his initiative as well,” he said.

The PACE sub-committee was set up back in 2005, later its work was suspended as chairman Lord Rassel Johnston passed away.

On January 2011 it was decided to resume work of the sub-committee which is headed by Jordi Xuclà i Costa.
