PACE POLITICAL COMMITTEE POSTPONED APPOINTMENT OF REPORTER ON NAGORNO KARABAKH BECAUSE OF AMBIGUITY OF ISSUE INTRODUCED FOR CONSIDERATION
The PACE political committee did not reach a decision on the appointment of the reporter for Nagorno Karabakh. The ambiguity of the issues introduced for consideration was the reason of that. As "De-facto" agency reports, commenting the results of the Luzern meeting of the committee 27-28 May, the chair of the commission for foreign relations of the National Assembly of Armenia Hovannes Hovannisian has stated that in his interview with journalists today. Hovannisian evaluated the report of the Swiss deputy for the refugee issues in Armenia and Azerbaijan as an impartial one. According to him, the report condemns the attempts of Azerbaijan to take the issues of refugees from social level to political one. According to the information introduced by the Swiss deputy, there are 570000 migrants and 120000 refugees in Azerbaijan "living in inhuman conditions".
