/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) hopes that Armenia will not be
debarred from voting in the organization.

"I do not think that it will come to sanctions. As far as I know, much
has changed since the draft resolution on debarring Armenia from
voting was introduced," said Konstantin Kosachev, head of the Russian
State Duma international committee.

"Anyway, the Russian delegation will vote against imposition of
sanctions on Armenia," he added

During a meeting on December 17, 2008, the PACE monitoring committee
concluded that Armenia failed to meet the requirements and offered to
debar Armenia from voting during the January session.

This week, PACE rapporteurs John Prescott and Georges Colombier
arrived in Armenia to study the situation.
