Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE)
Spring Session
Armenia: Assembly calls for peaceful dialogue without preconditions
[28/04/04] The Armenian authorities should allow peaceful demonstrations to
take place, release those detained during recent demonstrations, immediately
investigate any reported human rights abuses that took place and create fair
conditions for the media, the Assembly said today following an urgent debate
on the situation in the country. If no progress is made on these demands by
the opening of the September session, the parliamentarians resolved to
reconsider the credentials of the Armenian delegation. However, they also
called on the opposition to achieve its goals within the constitutional
framework. Both sides should engage in a peaceful dialogue without
preconditions, they stressed.
