/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The decision not to suspend Armenia’s voting rights
in PACEM is a new chance for official Yerevan to accomplish the
process of reforms, a member of the Armenian delegation to PACE said.

"The Assembly instructed its monitoring group to assess the steps the
Armenian government undertakes to alleviate post-election tensions. We
should carry out the essential reforms during a certain period of
time," Armen Rustamian said.

"During their recent visits to Armenia, the rapporteurs of the
PACE monitoring committee made certain that the Armenian leadership
demonstrated political will. A fact-finding group on March 1 events
was formed. Amendments were introduced into articles 225 and 300 of
the RA Penal Code," he said.
