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.

Russia remains defiant over Trump threats

Russian glide bombs and ballistic missiles struck a Ukrainian prison and a medical facility overnight as Russia’s relentless strikes killed at least 22 people across the country, officials said on Tuesday 29 July, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to punish Russia with sanctions and tariffs unless it stops. Trump said on Monday he is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 days to stop the killing in Ukraine after three years of war, moving up a 50-day deadline he had given the Russian leader two weeks ago. “I’m disappointed in President Putin,” Trump said during a visit to Scotland.
