YEREVAN, MARCH 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Over the past years Azerbaijan has increased its anti-Armenian agitation and does not miss the chance to present Armenia as an aggressor from the PACE tribune. Member of the Armenian delegation in PACE, Secretary of the RA National Assembly Bargavach Hayastan (Prosperous Armenia) faction Aram Safarian stated at a March 1 press conference. According to him, a country carrying on negotiations and striving for a mutually coordinated settlement variant should not aggravate the situation and instigate interethnic hostility. However Azerbaijan, as A. Safarian concluded, proves with its conduct that it is not going to solve the Nagorno Karabakh problem in a civilized way and wants to resume the operations. However, according to the BH figure, the prevailing majority of PACE deputies considers that the problem cannot be solved through a war. A. Safarian also mentioned that at the last PACE winter session in response to Azeri delegates' allegations that the parliamentary elections to be held on May 23 in Karabakh are illegal he proposed PACE deputies visiting Karabakh on an observation mission during elections and only then making conclusions.
