Chairman of Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Jean-Claude Mignon said that the Council of Europe does not think about imposing sanctions on Azerbaijan in the context of Ramil Safarov’s issue. According to him ‘one should not expect any statement or resolution as a result of this discussion. Suspending the activity of the Azerbaijani delegation in this context is not on agenda either’.

He said Safarov’s extradition and pardon shocked him, but he does not want to add fuel on the fire. ‘Our goal is to form normal relations between the two countries’ said Mignon.

‘The reason of putting Safarov’s issue onto agenda of the PACE session is to discuss the situation’ he continued.

According to Azerbaijani www.contact.az website Mignon expressed his objection to formation of a subcommittee on the Karabakh issue, noting that they only support the efforts of the Minsk group in the conflict settlement. They support dialogue between delegations of the two countries with the Council of Europe.

‘I have meetings with both delegations and I would like to see a normal dialogue between them’ said PACE Chairman.

Let us recall that a new committee has been formed within the Azerbaijani Parliament to clarify the Azerbaijani position on Safarov’s issue in international organizations and parliaments of different countries.
