In the draft resolution, paragraph 1, delete the following words:
"involving Nagorno-Karabakh"
Explanatory note
Using the word “involving” is completely wrong. The cause of the conflict was the aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan for almost 30 years, and it was between the two countries. It was Armenia that was claiming the contrary to stall the negotiations, which essentially led to another war in 2020.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 1, before the words "Nagorno-Karabakh", add the following word:
"Karabakh/"
Explanatory note
The word "Nagorno-Karabakh" is an outdated term. During its aggression, Armenia invaded the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. "Karabakh" is the correct word to refer to this region at the present time.

Explanatory note
The proposal for footnote with regard to the term "Nagorno Karabakh" aims at bringing the language of the document clarity as regards the geographic region of concern, as well as to ensure compliance with international regulations and norms with respect to the use of geographic names.

"notes that Azerbaijan has expressed, at the highest level, its determination to reintegrate the Armenian residents living in its territory into Azerbaijan’s political, legal, economic, social system as equal citizens. However, it calls for more consistent efforts"
Explanatory note
Regretfully, the current text arbitrarily overlooks the consistent efforts that Azerbaijan has been making since November 2020 with respect to addressing the rights and security of ethnic Armenian residents of the conflict-affected territories. Azerbaijan has consistently expressed its determination to reintegrate these residents as equal citizens.

"In the full recognition of Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, the Assembly underlines the need to achieve normalisation of their relations, and to this end, it strongly supports the negotiations on a peace agreement between the two countries to ensure lasting peaceful coexistence, reconciliation, and cooperation in the region. It also strongly encourages both countries to invest all efforts towards the opening of all transport communications in the region, including the route between Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan region. In the meantime, it urges Azerbaijan to take necessary measures at its disposal to address electricity and gas supply issues without delay or impediment."
Explanatory note
Interruptions are not directly related to Azerbaijan. The International Court of Justice rejected the respective claim by Armenia. The amendment serves to reflect this matter. Furthermore, Azerbaijan, with its own resources, repeatedly redressed electricity and gas supply failures to the region which happened as a result of dilapidated infrastructure and severe climate.

"The Assembly is extremely worried by the hostile and threatening rhetoric used in Azerbaijan and Armenia. It urges the authorities of both countries to condemn hate speech and to take appropriate measures to punish it.”
Explanatory note
Hate speech is by no means unique to any single society. Instead of being one-sided, the proposed amendments aims at making the paragraph balanced and comprehensive by recalling the commitments of both Azerbaijan and Armenia to address this issue.

If adopted, amendment 54 falls.
Votes: 13 in favor 48 against 4 abstentions
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 16 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly believes that, in the context of the dialogue between the Azerbaijani authorities and ethnic Armenian residents, which should in any case not be detrimental to the Armenians living in Azerbaijan, innovative solutions could be found to protect the rights of the Armenians in Karabakh, within the toolbox provided by the Council of Europe, which includes standards, instruments, and programmes. The Assembly therefore emphasizes the importance of taking full advantage of the existing standards, instruments and programmes related to the enjoyment of minority rights, language and education, cultural heritage, decentralisation and local self-government options.
Explanatory note
Instead of peace negotiations being pursued between Armenia and Azerbaijan, protection of rights of ethnic Armenians as persons belonging to national minority is the subject of Azerbaijani authorities dialogue with representatives of this minority. Also, under international law, citizenship is core to addressing the rights of persons belonging to national minorities.

It is not within the mandate and authority of the PACE to make a judgment on interpretation of the Trilateral Statement. Doing so would be partial and biased, as the PACE is not authorized by the parties to provide such a judgment.

In the draft recommendation, paragraph 2, replace the words "absence of a free and safe access through" with the following words:
"situation around"
Explanatory note
“Absence of access” to the Lachin road does not correspond to the real state of affairs on the ground. Hundreds of ethnic Armenians, along with the ICRC and Peacekeeping staff do enjoy access to the road without any discrimination, or undue impediment.

If adopted, amendment 61 falls.
In the draft recommendation, paragraph 3, replace the words "by the Armenian population living in Nagorno-Karabakh" with the following words:
"by Azerbaijanis and Armenians due to the decades-long, bloody conflict"
Explanatory note
Mistrust and fear are mutual, not unique to either Armenians or Azerbaijanis. Failure to grasp this sad reality is utterly counter-productive in terms of contributing to peacebuilding and reconciliation.
