/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A debate on the functioning of democratic
institutions in Armenia was included in the agenda of PACE summer
session.

"A proposal to deprive Armenia of vote can also be presented," said
Davit Harutyunian, head of the Armenian delegation to PACE.

The RA delegation departed for Strasbourg in full composition – 8
parliament members. Davit Harutyunian, Avet Adonts, Armen Rustamian
and Raffi Hovannisian have already signed up to address the session,
IA Regnum reports.

Earlier, there was a proposal to hold an urgent debate on the
functioning of democratic institutions in Armenia – but only if the
Assembly’s co-rapporteurs judge, after visiting the country on 16-17
June, that the Armenian authorities have made insufficient progress
in fulfilling the Assembly’s demands following the February 2008
post-electoral violence.
