ArmInfo. PACE co-reporters on monitoring of commitments by Armenia to
CE Georges Colombier and John Prescott arrived in Armenia with a two-
day fact-finding visit.

As the press service of CE headquarters told ArmInfo earlier, the
co-reporters’ visit to Armenia is purposed to assess fulfillment
of PACE commitments on the Resolution N1609 ‘On Functioning of
the Democratic Institutes in Armenia>. The source reports that
during the visit, the co-reporters intend to meet RA President Serzh
Sargsyan, Chairman of RA Parliament Tigran Torosyan, representatives of
political parties, as well as representatives of the non-parliamentary
opposition, including Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Moreover, the co-reporters
will meet representatives of the presidential working group on
coordination of actions for fulfillment of PACE Resolution N1609,
the parliamentary working group on reformation of the Election Code,
as well as the advocates of the arrested opposition activists.

As the source emphasizes, ‘if, upon the results of the visit to
Armenia, the co-reporters conclude that the progress by Armenia
is insufficient, the Assembly may set debates on the subject of
Functioning of Democratic Institutes in Armenia, which in this case
will be held on June 25 during PACE summer session.
