The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe yesterday adopted
the Resolution on the Implementation by Armenia of Assembly Resolution
1609 on the Functioning of Democratic Institutions in Armenia.
In the Resolution PACE welcomes the progress achieved by the Armenian
authorities in addressing the Assembly demands but notes that, despite
the political will expressed by the authorities, this progress is at
present insufficient to meet the requirements outlined in Resolution
1609.
While regretting the delay in implementing the concrete measures to
comply with PACE demands, the Assembly acknowledged that the time
given to the Armenian authorities was short. It therefore will review
at its January 2009 part-session the extent of Armenia’s compliance
with the requirements made in Resolution 1609
If the requirements mentioned in Resolution 1609, as well as those
set in the present resolution are not met by then, the Assembly will
consider the possibility of suspending the voting rights of the
Armenian delegation to the Assembly at the opening of its January
2009 part-session.
