ArmInfo. The OSCE Minsk Group is engaged in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the Council of Europe was not asked to help with the resolution of this task. This was stated by Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjorn Jagland, answering the question of the Azerbaijani delegation to the PACE concerning the role of the structure in the Karabakh settlement.
At the same time, he stressed that the Council of Europe, if necessary, is always ready to contribute to the settlement of the Karabakh conflict through diplomatic channels.
Responding to the Azerbaijani delegate, who tried to mention Armenia in the context of world terrorism, Jagland in particular said: "We always deal with human rights problems on both sides. I have already said this: we must work, regardless of status or circumstances. "
