YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS: A senior member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation/Dashnaktsutyun party, questioned today the wisdom of placing a report on Nagorno Karabagh conflict on the agenda of Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe session, saying that organization does not have a voting mechanism that would allow it to enter the conflict regulation process as an unbiased body, “as each of the conflicting sides would be looking to enlist the support of delegates from 15-20 countries.”
Levon Mkrtchian of the ARF claimed that that simplified approach to the conflict regulation places the entire responsibility of its future fate on a European organization. Mkrtchian praised the wisdom of both nations for “being reasonable to end the bloody war and replace it with a ten-year long truce.”
Mkrtchian argued that the Armenian delegation should boycott the PACE that is expected to discuss the report next year. “There is the OSCE Minsk group who has been tackling the issue for years and I do not see any reason behind taking the conflict to PACE,” Mkrtchian said, adding, however, that these were his own personal viewpoints.
He went on to say that the report prepared by a former PACE rapporteur, Terry Davis and taken up by his successor David Atkinson, has revealed that both men do not master the problem on a professional level.
