ArmInfo. "We should take into consideration any document contributing
to development of democratic institutions in Armenia", Speaker of the
Armenian National Assembly Tigran Torosyan said at a press-conference,
Monday, commenting upon the PACE Resolution "On Functioning of
Democratic Institutions in Armenia".
Torosyan qualified the rumors that he allegedly ignores the PACE
resolutions by calling them "unimportant" as senseless. "The
PACE Resolution "On Functioning of Democratic Institutions in
Armenia" has formulations which do not present the March 1-2 events
completely", Torosyan stressed. He added that all proposals reflected
in the resolution should be taken into account by the Armenian
authorities. However, Torosyan noted that it was suggested changing
the order of formation of the National Commission on Television
and Radio. "This is a Constitutional norm which was approved by the
Venice Commission", Torosyan said. "We should consider not only the
resolution, but also the statements and suggestions of the experts",
he said. Torosyan also pointed out that the parliament will take
relevant steps in the near future.
"It is no secret that Armenia has serious problems with consolidation
of democracy and formation of civil society, as well as normalization
of relations between the opposition and political majority", the
Speaker said.
