VARDAN OSKANYAN: TERRY DAVIS' REPORT UNACCEPTABLE FOR ARMENIA
The report prepared by PACE Rapporteur on Nagorno Karabakh Terry Davis is unacceptable for Armenia, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian stated at a press conference today. In his words, the report contained subjective assessments and represents "one person's opinion." "One cannot agree with it, and it presents an incorrect notion," noted the head of the foreign department of Armenia. At the same time he pointed out that the report has no status, especially that the newly appointed Rapporteur David Atkinson is to prepare his own report as well. When answering a question whether they may be concern over new Rapporteur also representing Great Britain, which is known for its conservative approach to the Karabakh problem, V. Oskanian pointed out that irrespective of whether the report will be based on the previous one or not, it is necessary to work with the new Rapporteur for his report not to reflect one person's point of view alone and not to affect the Nagorno Karabakh settlement.
