On January 26, the two expected anti-Armenian reports at the PACE will hamper the Armenia- Azerbaijan talks over Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This is what the ARF Bureau member Giro Manoyan thinks. “Such reports first and foremost undermine the negotiations, such decisions if a lot, will make our situation dangerous.
The overall sentiment over NKR and Armenians is positive but this is too much to hamper the negotiations. It is necessary for these resolutions not to be included in the agenda for discussion,” said Mr. Manoyan. As to what steps the Armenian side will take to the discussion of the reports, Mr. Manoyan could not say but expressed an opinion that the Armenian side is prepared as far as possible for such cases.
According to Giro Manoyan, in the near future Armenia will join the launched petition against the anti-Armenian reports ordered by Azerbaijan at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. The petition was initiated by the European Office of the Armenian Cause. Mr. Manoyan could not give other details about the petition, only saying that it is at the initial phase.
Note that on January 26, PACE is planning to discuss two reports, which have an anti-Armenian content. They are: “Rise in violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and other occupied territories of Azerbaijan” by the British parliamentarian Robert Walter, and “Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water” by Bosnia and Herzegovina representative Milica Marković’.
