PACE Monitoring Committee will discuss Armenia’s issues five days
after elections of Aldermen’s Council of Yerevan, David Harutyunyan,
Head of Armenian delegation to PACE announced in Yerevan. According
to Mr. Harutyunyan, PACE Monitoring Committee makes maximum effort
to help Armenia develop as democratic state. Armenian parliamentarian
also added that less toughened situation in comparison with previous
stage does not mean the Committee has changed its stance.

"Armenia permanently undertakes steps towards complying with PACE
requirements. Some of them are condemned, while others are assessed
positively," David Harutyunyan stressed.

In its winter session held on January 27, 2009, PACE passed resolution
¹1643, refusing to apply sanctions against Armenian delegation in
connection with March 1-2 disorders in Yerevan. PACE accounted for
such decision by Armenian authorities’ willingness to settle the
existing internal problems, PanArmenian.net reports.
