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.
