"If Armenia loses right to vote in PACE, it will inevitably affect
the Karabakh issue", consider rector of the Yerevan state linguistic
university of Brusov Suren Zolyan.

The PACE monitoring commission proposed to deprive Armenian delegation
including 8 deputies of the right to vote due to the investigation
on the criminal case on March 1-2 events in Yerevan. On January 27
PACE will consider Armenia’s issue during its plenary session.

"The loss of voting right will have political and economic implications
for Armenia and weaken its position", noted he.

According to Zolyan, in particular, it implies possible weakening
of Armenia’s positions in the negotiation process on the Karabakh
conflict, which will influence its ability to protect Karabakh’s
interests.
