General discussions on presidential elections in Russia, Serbia and
Armenia have been conducted at the spring session of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
APA reports that Samad Seyidov, Chief Delegate of Azerbaijan to PACE
has also delivered a speech at the discussions.
Seyidov expressed his disagreement with the report made by Special
rapporteur on Armenia John Prescott, who had observed the presidential
elections and post-election developments in Armenia.
Seyidov stated that the people had been killed and hundreds had been
arrested in Armenia.
His question was: since when have all these been included in CE
standards?
He expressed his anxiety about the tendencies in the Council of
Europe and added that there were double standards in respect to the
presidential elections in Armenia.
