Armenian lawmakers insisted on Monday that they will not cooperate with a pro-Azerbaijani British colleague who has been tasked by the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) with drafting a report on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The rapporteur, Robert Walter, was named by the PACE leadership last year to launch a fact-finding mission to the conflict zone and prepare the report titled “Escalation of Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and Other Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan."
This wording prompted furious protests from Armenian members of the Strasbourg-based assembly and the government in Yerevan. They say that it predetermines Walter's findings and runs counter to statements made by U.S., Russian and French mediators trying to broker a Karabakh settlement.
