YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: The monitoring commission of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will hold
a session September 15 in Paris, to discuss, among other issues,
also a preliminary report on how Armenian authorities are meeting
requirements of two PACE resolutions 1351 and 1374.

Parliament member Armen Rustamian, who is also a member of the
Armenian delegation to PACE, said today the Armenian delegation will
propose that the final conclusion be presented next January as under
decision 1361 Armenia still has some time to meet all requirements
and recommendations of the PACE.

Another PACE commission on political affairs is also expected to
meet September 15 and is supposed to discuss a preliminary report by
a former PACE rapporteur on Nagorno Karabagh, Terry Davis. Rustamian
said today that the commission may decide to put the report on PACE’s
autumn session agenda if it finds it complete, but he added that a
new rapporteur must be appointed to replace Davis, elected Council
of Europe Secretary General.
