The representative of the Azerbaijani delegation to the PACE, MP Ganira Pashayeva asked a question: “Dear Mr. Minister, 9 days ago Armenian armed forces violated the ceasefire in the area where I was elected as MP and they wounded civilian Etibar Tagiyev with a sniper shot. In addition, a lot of civilians and their houses are fired continuously and it causes material damage to them. I would like to know your opinion on this issue. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani IDPs, who for more than 20 years, can not return to their homes, are awaiting support from you, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, on realization of the resolution # 1416. Why does not the CE make decisive steps on realization of the resolution adopted 9 years ago? Does this issue bother you as a chairman?
Responding to a question Kurz said: “Regarding the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict, you’re right. It lasts a very long time and the settlement of this conflict is important for all of us. I know that the OSCE Minsk Group continues its work and at this stage the next meeting of the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia is being prepared. The Foreign Ministers of two countries are in constant contact and we are always ready to organize these meetings in Vienna and to contribute to the peaceful solution of this conflict. The only goal is the settlement of the conflict as soon as possible”.
