ARMENIAN AND FRENCH MPs PROTEST AGAINST INSINUATIONS OF THEIR TURKISH
COLLEAGUE
YEREVAN, JANUARY 27. ARMINFO. Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE,
Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Tigran Torosyan and a member
of the French delegation to PACE Fransua Roshlua have sent letters of
protest to CE Secretary General Terry Davis in connection with the
behavior of Presiding Chairman of the PACE Political Committee,
representative of the Turkish delegation Abdul Gyadir Atesh.
During PACE session dedicated to discussion of the draft resolution on
Nagorny Karabakh, the latter misled European MPs stating that a day
before the Political Committee had allegedly rejected the proposal of
the Armenian party on replacement of the formulation “separatist
forces” into “forces aspiring for indepedence.” In the meantime,
before the session, the Political Committee accepted the new
formulation proposed by the Armenian party by majority of votes.
Earlier, Torosyan in his interview to the Armenian Public Television
stated that it was insinuations of the Turkish MP who had misled PACE
deputies that the amendment was not included into the final version of
the resolution on Nagorny Karabakh.
