Azeri Minister of Education Masir Mardanov told AzerTAj news agency that the Council of Europe has authored and sponsored the Caucasus History new handbook. The Azeri party has met all its commitments on preparation of the book, while the Armenian party has expressed discontent thereupon. Just due to that the publishing of the new handbook is detained. The book was to be issued before the beginning of the new academic year. The Council of Europe has not expressed its stand over Armenia's biased attitude, Regnum news agency reported.
