In the draft resolution, paragraph 6, in the second sentence, replace the word "concerns" with the following word:
"notification"
Explanatory note
In the notification of the European Court from 16 March 2021, there is no reference to "concern" on captives; this is not a factual conclusion that one can make from the given notification. It is important that when the PACE refers to a legal document, it should stick to facts.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 6.6, after the word "which", add the following word:
"may"
Explanatory note
It is not understandable how the PACE can be so affirmative when it comes to respect for the Convention, without any proper examination of these cases by the European Court or any other international instance. Rights of all the persons of Armenian origin were duly provided during their court trials.

"consider releasing"
Explanatory note
The persons in question have been condemned to different terms by the courts of Azerbaijan on the basis of the relevant domestic legislation.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 8, replace the words "there is worrying evidence" of with the following words:
"there are worrying reports on"
Explanatory note
The PACE is not an investigative institution to speak in terms of "evidence" and it is not prescribed in its mission to prove or disprove something. The PACE acts based on "reports" collected from different sources and therefore, it is important to replace the word "evidence" by the word "reports".

In the draft resolution, paragraph 8.2, delete the following word:
"systematic".
Explanatory note
By adjective "systematic" it is claimed that everyone who was captured by the armed forces of Azerbaijan was subjected to torture. This is an absolute distortion of facts propagated by the Armenian sources, which is aimed at denigrating the armed forces of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan as a nation.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 8.5, delete the following words:
"the use by Azerbaijan, with Turkey's assistance, of Syrian mercenaries, and".
Explanatory note

In the draft resolution, paragraph 8.5, at the beginning of the sentence, add the following words:
"allegations of"
Explanatory note
The PACE can't make such an affirmative statement on this highly sensitive issue that it didn't deal with directly. These are only allegations reported by some sources that don't provide any convincing facts.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 9, at the end of the first sentence, add the following words:
"during the 6-week war, as well as the 1991-1994 war".
Explanatory note
If the genuine intention is to ensure accountability, truth and reconciliation, then investigation of allegations of war crimes or other wrongful acts should not be limited to the 6-week war. The victims of the war of 1991-1994 also deserve to get justice for the crimes that were committed against them.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 18.2, delete the following word:
"deliberately".
Explanatory note
It would be not serious at all, if the PACE launches a trial of intent against Azerbaijan. How one can claim that Azerbaijan deliberately caused damage to its own cultural heritage located on its own lands? The conclusions of the PACE can't be grounded in baseless speculations spread by Armenia.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 19, delete the following words:
", in particular in relation to Azerbaijan,".
Explanatory note
There is absolutely no reason to single out Azerbaijan. The country was subjected to 30-year long military occupation, had to endure an ethnie cleansing and massive displacement of its population. Unfortunately, quite often the expression of frustrations by the people deeply affected by military aggression was portrayed as "hate speech".

In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 20.
Explanatory note
In paragraph 12.1 the Assembly already expresses "strong regret" on the lack of access and in paragraph 12.5 calls on "all involved States to ensure unimpeded access"; in paragraph 20, it is proposed to refer to the same issue. There is no necessity to come back here to this matter.
