Two reports on Armenia will be heard at the PACE Spring Session on
April 11-13 in Strasbourg, which will be in the focus of attention of
the Armenian delegation. Two question directly connected with Armenia
will be discussed, said Tigran Torosyan, Deputy Speaker, the head of
the Armenian delegation in the PACE, to the Armenian news reporters
before the session. The first is the report on the refugees and the
displaced persons in the South Caucasus, which had been introduced in
December, but was moved to the agenda of the spring session because
the winter agenda was tough.

The second is the draft report on human rights of the military
personnel in Europe, which does not directly concern Armenia, but some
points of it regard Armenia. Tigran Torosyan says the draft report
includes the assessment of the human rights of the Armenian military
personnel in 2001-2003. The deputy speaker of the National Assembly
said this document had been extended to the Ministry of Defense to
get acquainted with the assessment of the European reporter.
