The Council of Europe hopes rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia will contribute to resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, General Secretary Thorbjorn Jagland said at a press conference following the hand-over ceremony of the Committee of Ministers chairmanship to Switzerland today.
He said the Council of Europe is ready to assist the parties in the rapprochement process.
"As to rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia, the Council of Europe will do anything to assist the parties in the issue," Jagland said. "No party turned to us in this regard. Both parties are Council of Europe members, and this fact is important for these countries, as well as for entire process. I welcome this rapprochement and hope it will create an opportunity to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
