The president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Jean-Claude Mignon, indicated his optimism in settling the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, an issue that has disrupted the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan for decades, through the term of presidencies of the involved countries, the Hurriyet Daily News reported.
At a meeting with Parliament Speaker Cemil Çiçek in Ankara, Mignon recalled on May 13 that Armenia will begin to chair the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in a few days.
“This is a term presidency for six months. Right after that Austria’s and then Azerbaijan’s term presidency will come. It must be seen as an absolute opportunity. It must be seen as an opportunity to bring a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue together with great countries in the region, of course primarily with Turkey,” Mignon was quoted as saying by the Anatolia news agency.
