PACE to Discuss Armenia's issue after May 31 elections

PanARMENIAN.Net - PACE Monitoring Committee will discuss Armenia's issues five days after elections of Aldermen's Council of Yerevan, David Harutyunyan, Head of Armenian delegation to PACE announced in Yerevan. According to Mr. Harutyunyan, PACE Monitoring Committee makes maximum effort to help Armenia develop as democratic state. Armenian parliamentarian also added that less toughened situation in comparison with previous stage does not mean the Committee has changed its stance.



"Armenia permanently undertakes steps towards complying with PACE requirements. Some of them are condemned, while others are assessed positively," David Harutyunyan stressed.



In its winter session held on January 27, 2009, PACE passed resolution №1643, refusing to apply sanctions against Armenian delegation in connection with March 1-2 disorders in Yerevan. PACE accounted for such decision by Armenian authorities' willingness to settle the existing internal problems.
