Armenian coalition parties urge RA NA speaker to demand clarifications from PACE President

PanARMENIAN.Net -
Republican Party of Armenia, Prosperous Armenia and Orinats Yerkir issued a statement in reference to PACE President Movlud Chavushoglu’s interview to APA Azeri news agency. “Some of PACE President’s comments question his impartiality in Karabakh issue. PACE President has a wrong perception of the nature and details of the issue, as well as of negotiation progress concerning the problem in question,” the joint statement says.



According to the statement, Movlud Chavushoglu’s statement is seriously questioning the authority of his PACE presidency from the viewpoint of his ability to play a positive role in the settlement of regional problems. “The interview proves that only OSCE MG is authorised to conduct Karabakh talks, and any initiative which goes beyond OSCE MG format will only complicate and harm the peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict,” the statement says.



Given the abovementioned facts, Armenian coalition parties urge RA NA speaker to clarify with PACE President the credibility of the interview in question and demand explanations, also asking Chavushoglu to specify if his words should be regarded as official PACE position. If necessary, the issue of suspension of PACE Armenian delegation activities during Movlud Chavushoglu’s presidency should also be discussed, the joint statements stresses.
