ARMENIA-PACE-KARABAKH-COMMITTEE-OPINION

Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE David Harutyunyan has agreed with ArmInfo's correspondent that the Armenian delegation to PACE and President of PACE, Turkish parliamentarian Mevlut Cavucoglu are engaged in open confrontation.

"Yes, we are in confrontation with Mr. Cavucoglu, who is obviously trying to arrange the work of the PACE Ad Hoc Committee on Nagorno-Karabakh," Harutyunyan said.

He said that the Armenian delegates first proposed a moratorium on mutual accusations during the meetings with their Azeri counterparts in early 2011. "We said that we had first to discuss what the committee would do or to create conditions for the moratorium. But none of our proposals have been given attention. And so, we doubt the impartiality of the whole process," Harutyunyan said.

Trump specifically mentioned Chinese and Russian ships as potential threats in the nearby seas. Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US. (click the image to read the full story).
