ArmInfo. "The recent statement of the PACE Monitoring Committee
distinctly fixes serious problems with implementation of Resolutions
N1609 and N1620, and I estimate this positively", Souren Sourenyants,
a member of the Political Council of the oppositional "Republic"
party, a representative of the Armenian National Congress, said to
journalists at Tesaket club, Friday.

According to him, oppositionists and politicians in general are freer
in the choice of formulations when publishing relevant assessments
while international organizations speak a diplomatic language. "After
the recent sitting of the PACE Monitoring Committee, the Armenian
authorities should realize that nobody ids going to play games with
them, and very little time remains to implement the assumed obligations
and requirements", Sourenyants said.

He also stressed that the Armenian oppposition is forming its political
agenda without looking at international organizations. "PACE itself
should be interested in maintenance of its image. It is not for
us to worry about it. The Armenian opposition doesn’t ignore the
international factors’ certain influence on the situation in the
country, but our actions focus on their relevant reception by the
republic’s public", Sourenyants said in conclusion.
