ArmInfo. PACE assessment of fulfillment of the requirements of PACE
Resolution N 1609 "On Functioning of Democratic Institutes" by Armenia
at the summer session and the opinion of the Resolution reporters will
be the following: , leader of the National-Democratic party, member
of the Armenian delegation to PACE from RA Parliament of the past
convocation Shavarsh Kocharyan told ArmInfo. He thinks that upon the
results of debates in PACE, the European parliamentarians will give
a recommendation on continuation of the process of democratization,
however, no vast steps by them should be expected. "The Armenian
delegation to PACE will not be deprived of the authorities and
voting. The country could not change qualitatively over two months, so
it is in its movement on the way to the European integration. In this
regard, one could not expect 100% fulfillment of requirements. However,
some steps have been apparently done", S. Kocharyan emphasized. He
expressed confidence that much could be done over this period, for
example, to start the process of creation of a special commission
much earlier and not now, in order to get certain results. Moreover,
S. Kocharyan thinks that efforts had to be made, as soon as possible,
to separate the criminal part of March 1 events from the politically
motivated part, which envisages persecutions and arrests.
