This type of resolutions indicates that the Minsk Group’s efforts are weak and insufficient, Head of Azerbaijan’s delegation to PACE Samad Seyidov told.

Samad Seyidov made the remarks commenting on the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair James Warlick’s statement that “PACE and other international organizations should consult with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs before issuing reports or resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh,” after the PACE Committee for Political Affairs adopted the resolution on the Nagorno-Karabakh and other occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

According to Seyidov, there have been such consultations, and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk are aware of this issue.

“I think Mr.Warlick and the other co-chairs of the Minsk Group should first themselves be interested in developments going around the world and within international organizations. This report itself indicates that the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh must be settled in accordance with international law and international forms of action,” he added.

Touching upon the statement of the Armenian side on the insignificance of the resolution, Seyidov said that they also consider insignificance four UN resolutions and the subcommittee created on Nagorno-Karabakh. “This demonstrates once again that Armenia is isolating itself from the world,” he noted.

Seyidov said that the primary version of the report by Militsa Markovic on Sarsang reservoir will be heard on Nov.23.

“However, Armenia denied the entry for both Markovic and Walter to Nagorno-Karabakh, claiming that the authors in their reports supposedly supported the position of Azerbaijan. In fact, they don’t support the Azerbaijani side, but international law and justice. Simply, justice and international law does not meet the interests of Armenia,” he emphasized.

PACE Committee for Political Affairs adopted the report entitled “Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan’s occupied territories” which was prepared by rapporteur Robert Walter.
