Edmond Haxhinasto: “We support peaceful settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict”
Strasburg, June 27 (AZERTAC). “We support peaceful settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict,” chairperson of the Ministerial Committee, Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edmond Hakhinasto declared in response to the Armenian deputy Naira Zohrabyan`s question.
The summer session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg from 25 to 29 June heard report by the chairman of the Ministerial Committee.
Naira Zohrabyan had stated her question in the following way: " Don`t you think the people of Nagorno-Karabakh also have the right to international recognition by applying the norm of international law that is the right of nations to self-determination, and as it was applied in the case of Kosovo?"
In his response Edmond Hakhinasto underlined that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not a primary issue of concern for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), and the Ministerial Committee supports the Minsk Group`s actions and follows up on those processes.
He also noted that Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh were two different issues.
