The decision to include Robert Walterթ§Չ-Չ§s report in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assemblyթ§Չ-Չ§s (PACE) plenary session agenda is a serious blow to the OSCE Minsk Group, says an Armenian delegate.
թ§Չ-ժThe PACE sought, yet another time, to undermine the Minsk Group efforts, as the move is not likely to in any way assist in the negotiation process,թ§Չ-Թ Naira Zohrabyan told Tert.am, commenting on the decision by the PACE Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy.
թ§Չ-ժThey are yet another time provoking an escalation between the Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations. The Minsk Group will later embark on new efforts, calling upon the sides to work towards confidence-building measures. But such steps never contribute to confidence building; they are like a stab from the back to the Minsk Group-mediated process,թ§Չ-Թ she added.
Zohrabyan, who leads the Prosperous Armenia faction in the National Assembly, says she plans to consider the future quality of the Armenia-PACE relations after return to Armenia.
թ§Չ-ժThis resolution has no value at all, apart from undermining the negotiation process,թ§Չ-Թ the Armenian parliamentarian said, adding that she expects the document to receive approval at the plenary session.
But she said the Armenian side will work to the best of its efforts to reduce the anti-Armenian wordings to a minimum.
թ§Չ-ժAs for the final version, it depends on how many sober-minded members will be attending the PACE [plenary session] to understand that the adoption of a resolution with such a wording will simply increase the border tension, which is escalated as it is. The PACE will yet another time turn into a scene of war between the Armenian and Azerbaijani delegations. If thatթ§Չ-Չ§s what the PACE seeks for, let them keep on working in such a style,թ§Չ-Թ she added.
