"The attempt to deprive of right of voice from Armenia in PACE is
something subjective, as much depends on political calculations and
not the implementation of resolutions by Armenia," said in a press
conference Kiro Manoyan, the commissioner of ARF on political affairs
and Armenian Case.

K. Manoyan says that other wise the same sanctions would be experienced
against Azerbaijan and Turkey.

To the question whether Turkey is more dictatorial than Armenia and
whether their elections are falsified as much as they are in Armenia,
he says that Turkey is more experienced in holding elections. But
surely it is more dictatorial country than Armenia as freedom of
speech is not respected there and the usage of genocide is forbidden.

How much has been done by Armenian authorities to implement the
recommendations of PACE resolutions? "It was possible to do much,
but still we have not evaded from our responsibilities to be deprived
of right of voice," said K. Manoyan.
