"It's inadmissible for members of the Council of Europe, which undertook peaceful co-existence as a basis, to experience a conflict like the Nagorno Karabakh one," President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Rene van der Linder said. He voiced hope that the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan with the assistance of the Council of Europe and other international organizations will proceed with the dialogue and achieve a final peaceful resolution. "Our aim is to render the essential assistance in order to prevent any opposition between two members of the CoE," he said.

"Even if provided by law and political defense expediency, a CoE member must not unleash war. War is ruled out. We give priority to a decision that is achieved by peaceful means only, via dialogue and negotiations. If either of the sides launches war, it will bring to serious discussions in the PACE and the membership of the state in the Council of Europe will be questioned," the PACE President said, reported Trend new agency.
