PACE again demonstrated routine approach toward frozen conflicts
Russia stands for discussion of frozen conflicts but it objects routine approach toward them," chairman of the Russian State Duma committee on international affairs Konstantin Kosachev said at the Berlin conference on frozen conflicts initiated by the PACE Monitoring Committee and Institute for International and Security Affairs.

"The attempt to make a brainstorm on situation that troubles many European nations deserves appraisal on the whole. It's quite another matter that PACE again demonstrated a routine approach toward frozen conflicts," Kosachev said adding that any debate is reduced to discussion of such conflicts on the territory of the former USSR - Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and Karabakh, while there are similar problems on the CoE territory, such as Kosovo, Northern Cyprus and some others, Russian media reports.
