The members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) urge the Assembly to cooperate with the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

According to Heritage party press service, Armenian delegation to PACE issued a statement, with 32 members of France, Belgium, Italy, Austria, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, UK, Serbia, Malta and Andorra delegations to PACE undersigning it.

“20 years ago, Karabakh fulfilled its right for self-determination, along with Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The last 3 countries have been CoE members for 10 years; though not affiliated with CoE, NKR implements its statehood-building policy in accordance with CoE mission and values.

Giving high assessment to Artsakh’s adherence to democratization and realizing the necessity for NKR authorities to participate in Karabakh settlement talks in OSCE MG framework, we call on PACE to cooperate with legitimately elected authorities of the republic,” the statement said.
