Armenian Delegation Familiarized OSCE PA with Facts of Armenian Monuments Destruction
During today's sitting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Brussels a report organized by Austrian deputy Wolfgang Grossruck was heard, third secretary of the Armenian Embassy in Belgium Tigran Balayan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the Azeri delegation proposed 11 amendments. Over half of them were rejected thanks to the efforts of the Armenian delegation members. In part, the Armenian delegation succeeded in excluding the amendments that said "Kosovo model cannot be used as precedent for the settlement of other conflicts". The other rejected amendment said that the territories should be returned to the state, to which they belonged before the start of the conflict. There were also some other amendments that were refused. I should also mention that Armenia supported a number of technical amendments proposed by Azerbaijan and this was welcomed by the Assembly," Balayan said.

He also informed that Armenian MP Artashes Geghamyan addressed the Assembly with a speech on the destruction of the Armenian historical and cultural monuments on the territory of Azerbaijan.
