ArmInfo. Resolution 1677, passed at PACE last session, is already the
fourth over the latest year, and it is the final in a certain sense,
Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE David Harutyunyan said at
a press-conference.

Having touched on the basic provisions of the Resolution,
D. Harutyunyan said that in the Assembly’s opinion, a sufficient base
has been created in the republic for continuation and extension of the
dialogue among the country’s political forces. He said Armenia will
remain under monitoring to be conducted in a usual regime. He thinks
the Resolution 1677 is very objective and he does not consider its
adoption as a victory or defeat, especially as PACE resolutions are not
always objective. According to Harutyunyan, the issue of Armenia will
most likely not be included in the agenda of PACE autumn. As for the
monitoring, D. Harutyunyan said, 10 countries more, besides Armenia,
are under PACE monitoring, and this is a rather long process.

To recall, tragic events in Yerevan on March 1-2, 2008, have become a
reason for adoption of the resolution and the monitoring in relation
to Armenia.
