Touching upon the PACE Monitoring Committee’s session held in Paris,
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan mentioned that the Committee had
made a proposal unfavorable for Armenia.

"It is a working process, and out of the more than 80 members of the
Committee only 15 people participated in the session. 10 people among
them voted in favor of the proposal advanced. The issue concerning
Armenia will be put to discussion during the January session of the
Parliamentary Assembly."

And before that, rapporteurs J. Prescott and J. Columbier are to
visit Armenia. "I believe the developments in January will make it
possible to revise the current proposal and confirm that Armenia has
really implemented the major part of Resolutions # 1609 and 1620,"
Ed. Nalbandyan underscored.
