CE Not to Investigate Facts of Fires in Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - The probability for the Council of Europe to investigate the fact of fires in Nagorno Karabakh and adjacent territories is very little, reported the CE Department for Political Affairs. The source noted that the process is rather difficult. «The matter is that the CE does not have an official stance specifically on that issue, as the organization does not have a technical and material basis for checking the reliability of the facts presented. The Council of Europe has expressed its attitude, based on conclusions of other reliable organizations, e.g. the OSCE, whose experts visited territories, where the fires occurred. According to the mission conclusions, the fires were a result of a natural calamity. Unfortunately, we as an organization cannot either confirm or deny this information. We merely trust to OSCE data. The OSCE has larger capacities for doing that.»
