REPORT ON KARABAKH TO BE SUBMITTED TO OSCE PA
The annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will be held June 30-July 5 in Washington. After the sitting of the political committee on June 29 the Nagorno Karabakh issue will to all appearances be included in the agenda. To note, earlier Deputy Chairman of the Armenian National Assembly, head of the Armenian delegation to the OSCE PA Vahan Hovhannissian rated Goran Lennmarker's preliminary report submitted to both parties as balanced. This fact sparked angry protest from Baku causing protraction of the final report. According to Vahan Hovhannissian, thanks to the efforts by the Armenian party Mr. Lennmarker's report will mention the status of Nagorno Karabakh as a primary matter. Thus all the other issues advanced by the Azeri party are derivative. He also informed that the problem of refugees will be in highlight of the report. "With claming return of Azeri refugees official Baku should realize that the Armenian party has the right to raise an analogous claim, that is to insist on return of Armenians to Baku and Sumgait. However it is hardly possible as Armenians in Azerbaijan are doomed to violent death", he resumed, IA Regnum reports.
